Alma Problem

Alma Mahler (ultimately Alma Mahler Gropius Werfel) was not only an articulate, well-connected and influential woman, but she also went on to outlive her first husband by more than 50 years.

The work that Mahler is known to have conducted on that occasion was actually Mozart's The Magic Flute; and, in any case, Alma's diaries show that she remained at home all that evening.

Alma claims that Mahler intensely disliked Richard Strauss's opera 'Feuersnot', that he 'had a horror of the work', and avoided conducting it.
