The printable version of this page includes

href="/skins-1.5/common/commonPrint.css?55"

while the printable versions of the other 8 Mahler symphonies uses 56 instead of 55. The problem is that using Safari, MacOS X 10.4, when printing this version, it doesn't respect changes that make the font size larger -- the printed font size doesn't change no matter what is chosen on screen. IMHO this is a mistake.

[edit] Merging Adagietto (Mahler)

Do we really need a separate article for just the Adagietto. It seems to me the length of the article would be perfect for a movement by movement analysis of this symphony. Centy – reply• contribs – 21:26, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

We really don't need a seperate article, I believe. I agree with Centy. — Andy W. ^{(talk/contrb.)} 21:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. Someone knowledgeable about this should write a section for each of the five movements. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.236.80.245 (talk) 18:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Composition

Anonymous User:24.0.231.90 tagged this section in May 2007 with the summary that it was a "mess". In fact there is nothing wrong with the tone of this quite straightforward account of the symphony's composition. The tag might well be removed by any editor. --Wetman (talk) 14:36, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
