Mahler’s Klavierquartettsatz in A minor
Mahler only wrote a single quartet. I think feel that’s because he, more than any other composer, tried to encapsulate everything, the World, the Universe, into each of his works – and the quartet was too restrictive in form for him. I also feel think he was the most philosophical of the master composers.

Do you remember the days of slav’ry? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And they beat us (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And they worked us so hard (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
And they used us (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Till they refuse us (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav’ry? (Do you remember the days of slav’ry?)
