Mahler's 1st Symphony is supposed to be a death march. But somehow in middle of the piece at about 2:20 it goes Klezmer out of nowhere. As the second video shows, with Bernstein explaining, it is quite a gloomy piece. I love it!
Apparently, this funeral march is really quite happy, because it the funeral of the hunter in the woods and all the animals are quite happy about this particular death, or so it says on the video's description.
