29 - Curse of the Ninth

Did the famous composer Gustav Mahler work his fatal heart murmur into his final ninth symphony? To try and answer this question, I'm joined by Dr. Kevin Nordstrom of the Great Composers Podcast. We'll delve into Mahler's diseases, a history of heart sounds, musical theory, his obsession with mortality, and the unfortunate circumstances of his own death. Classical music and medicine, in one podcast! What more could you want? And included (at no extra charge!) is a new #AdamAnswers about the origins of respiratory therapy.

You can listen to Dr. Nordstrom's Great Composers Podcast on iTunes or on his website.
