Hi, Clarke Weigle! In response to the publisher's question as to which key should be on the title, Mahler replied: "According to the disposition of the movements (of which the usual I. comes only in 2nd place), it is difficult to speak of a key of the 'entire symphony', and, in order to avoid misunderstandings, it is preferable to leave such a key unmarked." So his indication was quite clear, but not completely restrictive: he did not downright forbid the indication of a key. Therefore there seems to be a certain leeway to decide to do it for good reasons and to justify it. For example, because of the convention of designating a symphony by number and key, it has become established that the C sharp minor is called with the fifth. This is due to the fact that the key from which a symphony is developed is much more decisive than the number. Mahler's symphony is developed from C sharp minor, even if it ends up in D major. The symphony begins in C sharp minor, but does not end in C sharp minor. There are other works where it is also the case that they are marked with the initial key, even if they end in a different key. Of course, it does not necessarily follow from these considerations, among others, that one should ignore Mahler's intention. But he did not express himself in a completely restrictive manner. Greetings from the WDR Sinfonieorchester!

It's listed as c sharp minor. Where do you see Cb minor? Maybe it's because of the translation?

@@WDRKlassik Es steht direkt im Titel. Und in der Beschreibung heißt es Philharminic Hall ^^

Da ist was bei der Übersetzung schief gelaufen, jetzt müsste es aber stimmen.
