'''Gustav Mahler''', (1860–1911) was a composer born under the birth sign of Cancer. He wrote with the deep mysticism of that hierarchy. He himself was a mystical dreamer, and his early efforts at composition centered in fairylike themes. His genius expanded until he said that his art became his religion, the conductor’s stand an altar, and the score a ritual. | '''Gustav Mahler''', (1860–1911) was a composer born under the birth sign of Cancer.
