La Séptima sinfonía de Gustav Mahler puede ser comparada con un suntuoso tríptico de estructura concéntrica. El panel central tiene dos movimientos de nachtmusik (música nocturna) que enmarcan un fantasmal y pícaro scherzo. En el flanco izquierdo está el primer movimiento; en el derecho, el final, como una especie de contestación al primero. Compuesta entre los años 1904 y 1905, llega casi a la hora y media de duración, estando escrita para una amplísima plantilla orquestal. Fue estrenada el 19 de septiembre de 1908 en Praga por la Orquesta Filarmónica Checa bajo la dirección del compositor.

En grandes rasgos, se puede decir que esta sinfonía es la que plantea mayor grado de modernidad. En un primer momento es complicado apreciar en ella una línea conductora o cierta unidad de intención que puedan justificar la reunión de sus cinco movimientos tan dispares. El compositor, que nunca tuvo reticencias a los excesos, alcanza en esta obra un punto extremo en su evolución creativa.

Tal vez fue arriesgado desde el punto de vista político organizar su estreno en Praga en el marco de una exposición dedicada al emperador Francisco José de Austria, figura que empezaba a ser controvertida en el Imperio austrohúngaro, hecho que no tuvo que lamentar el compositor por el celo y el entusiasmo de los músicos checos y alemanes concitados para la ocasión y durante los quince días que dispuso para los ensayos. Fue aplaudida con más respeto que calor, y la crítica se manifestó sólo con cortesía tanto en Chequia como en Austria.

Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 7 can be compared to a sumptuous triptych with a concentric structure. The central panel has two movements of Nachtmusik (night music) that frame a ghostly and devilish Scherzo. The first movement appears on the left side, and the finale on the right, as a sort of response to the first. Composed between 1904 and 1905, it lasts nearly one hour and a half, having been written for a large orchestra. It was premiered on the 19th of September in Prague by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer.

In general terms, this symphony is the one that suggests the largest degree of modernity. In the first movement, it is difficult to detect a common thread or unity of intention that could justify bringing together such different five movements. In this work the composer, who never had any reservations regarding excesses, reaches an extreme point in his creative evolution.

Organising its premiere in Prague in the framework of an exhibition dedicated to the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, who was beginning to be controversial in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was perhaps risky. However, the composer did not have to regret the event due to the zeal and enthusiasm of the Czech and German musicians brought together for the occasion and the fifteen days programmed for rehearsals. The performance was applauded more out of respect than enthusiasm, and the reviews of critics were merely courteous, both in Czechia and Austria.
