‘It Must Embrace Everything’ — Gustav Mahler Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Muscle Tank

“The symphony must be like the world. It must embrace everything.” Mahler fired this back at Sibelius when the two compared philosophies in Helsinki in 1907 — Sibelius praising the symphony’s severity and deep logic, Mahler insisting it hold the world entire (the exchange survives through Sibelius’s memory, so the wording is his). His creed is maximalist to the bone: art should open its arms wide enough to take in everything.
