There has been relatively little scholarship to date on Mahler's Kindertotenlieder. The
writings about this song cycle that do exist primarily focus on the disparate nature of the
poems and justify Kindertotenlieder as a cycle by highlighting various musical connections
between the songs, such as keys and motivic continuity. Mahler, however, has unified the
cycle in a much more complex and sophisticated way. His familiarity with Wagner's music
and methods, and his mastery of the human voice and orchestral voices allowed him to weave
a dramatic grief-laden narrative.
