Abstract

Mahler was the first composer in Western music history to convert music into a tool of social criticism. He used irony to reveal the value of life, social exclusion and dangerous environment. The Fin-de-Siècle decadent sentiment in Mahler's music, the profound dilemma of grief and joy, and the politicized representation of sound all reflect profoundly the alienation of society at that time and highlight its artistic charm with an alienation narrative of subverting the tradition.
