Hi, in the last 2 weeks I had the joy to find an uncompleted draft by Mahler for a Scherzo in c-minor - of course I could not resist and made an attempt to complete it - what do you think?

Many thanks for this information. I note that the commentary is 40 years old. Has there been any subsequent literature on the subject and, if so, where can it be consulted? And have there been any earlier attempts at completion?

Yes, by this I video I first read of this draft 2 weeks ago. But this does not really sound well to my ears, so I tried to do my own orchestration... I have no idea, why this draft is so ignored - especially now when Mahler has become so popular in the recent decades...
