Beyond this, the book ushers the Listener's Guide into the digital age with 185 dedicated audio examples. They are brief, accessible, and arranged to flow from one to another to simulate how the symphony might be presented in a classroom discussion. Each movement is also presented uninterrupted, accompanied by light annotations to remind the reader of what they learned about the movement. Each musical event in the uninterrupted presentation is keyed to its location in the orchestral score to accommodate readers who may wish to refer to one.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47743496454368,"sku":"Books:9780197575642n","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/Mahler.jpg?v=1757545860","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/inside-mahlers-second-symphony-a-listeners-guide","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
