    If it is true that Mahler’s music is worthless, as I believe to be the case, then the question is what I think he ought to have done with his talent… Should he, say, have written his symphonies and then burned them? Or should he have done violence to himself and not written them? Should he have written them and realised that they were worthless? But how could he have realised that? I can see it, because I can compare his music with what the great composers wrote. But he could not, because … his nature is not that of other great composers.
