Mahler’s Tenth Symphony was never quite finished, but he did leave two movements orchestrated and three movements in short-score. This meant that it’s been up to musicologists to attempt a completion, relying on both Mahler’s drafts and sketches for the remainder to render it performable. Deryck Cooke’s version is perhaps the most well-known, but there are certainly others available. The different versions are a bit like wandering into your usual supermarket and finding that the store has been rearranged.
