I never heard of it either until the other night. Apparently Mahler mucked about with the score of the Ninth and generated a score of his own that is his interpretation of the Ninth. This interpretation/score is what they were playing from on the televised performance I saw/heard. Apparently it is a bit controversial.

mousethief,

Just my way of celebrating Beethoven's birthday. Been doing it since I was in high school. Pumpkin, to be precise, but it's not set in stone.
