I have this issue (and all issues since, except for the Jan-Feb 2025
issue which still hasn't shown up at the local Barnes and Noble store).

Are the lyrics or music of Mahler's work actually referenced in the >"kindertotenlieder" story?

If so, that would make it the third SF/F story that cites his work, the >others being the "Lied von der Erde" (Damon Knight) and tenth symphony
(Greg Bear). That I am aware of, anyway.

Ominously, my spell checker wants to replace "kindertotenlieder" with >"prekindergarten".

Didn't Blish reference Mahler as well?`
