Summary
Welcome to the Season 6 Finale of Sticky Notes! Mahler titled the last movement of his 3rd symphony "What Love Tells Me." This movement is my favorite movement of any Mahler symphony. It is a profoundly heartfelt chorale that traverses peaks and valleys of ecstasy and despair in equal measure. We'll talk all about this emotionally complex movement and how it relates to the other 5 movements in the symphony. At the end of the show, I took a moment to reflect on the previous year of shows. Please join me!

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the season six final of sticky notes at the classical music Podcast. My name is Joshua Wilerstein, I'm a conductor and |
| 0:15.3 | I'm the artistic director of the Lozan Chamber Orchestra in Lozan Switzerland. This podcast is |
| 0:19.9 | for anyone who loves classical music, works in the field, or is just getting ready to dive into this amazing world of incredible music. |
| 0:27.0 | Before we get started, I want to thank my new Patreon sponsor, Richard, and all of my Patreon sponsors for making season six possible. |
| 0:34.7 | If you would like to help out the show monetarily, |

| 0:41.4 | And if you are a fan of the show, |
| 0:42.4 | please just take a moment to give us a |

| 0:47.8 | show and it is greatly appreciated. I'm recording this just before leaving for Lozan to make a recording of Copeland's |
| 0:56.0 | Appalachian Spring, Ethel Smyth's Quintet arranged for strings, Caroline Shaw's |
| 1:01.0 | on Tarract for strings, and Elgars, Chancant of Mata and Chancant of Nui. |
| 1:06.0 | This is a pretty strange dime obviously for orchestras who can't play for audiences, |
| 1:10.0 | but it is giving us time to really dig into our own repertoire, do detailed work, and now to bring out a recording of music that I really love and care about. |
| 1:19.0 | So I'm thrilled to be heading to Lozan this week. |
| 1:22.0 | Unfortunately, my New Year's concert with the Gertzenich Orchestra |
| 1:25.0 | in Cologne was forced to be cancelled due to COVID regulations, but we are all hopeful that as we |
| 1:30.4 | get into the new year, that the vaccine will be distributed rapidly and safely and that will be getting close |
| 1:35.7 | to some sense of concert normality as soon as possible. |
| 1:40.0 | With that said, this is the last episode of six, and at the end of the show today, I wanted to just offer some thoughts on the past year of podcasts, which I hope you'll stick around for. |
| 1:50.5 | With that, on to the final part of Mahler's Third Symphony. Oh, Maler once wrote to a critic, no music is worth anything if you first have to tell the listener |
