The movement is in sonata form. It begins with a slow introduction, launched by a dark melody played by a baritone horn. The accompanimental rhythm was said to have come to Mahler whilst rowing on the lake at Maiernigg after a period of compositional drought. A climax emerges from various members of the woodwind and brass. The principal trumpet in the orchestra for the work's première even confronted Mahler, saying "I'd just like to know what's beautiful about blowing away at a trumpet stopped up to high C-sharp." Mahler had no answer, but later pointed out to Alma that the man did not understand the agony of his own existence.
