Adagietto from Symphony No.5 Composed in 1901-02, Mahlers 5th Symphony contains the Adagietto movement scored for strings and harp, perhaps the most serene, simple, spiritual and peaceful music of his entire output. The music was likely composed as a love song to his new wife Alma. Ralph Sauer has beautifully arranged the movement for solo Trombone with Piano accompaniment. The 8 minute long work is appropriate for advanced performers.
