yes Mahler's 5th.
And yes. it's exhausting.
save it for a time when you have some excess of emotion. perhaps when you're feeling some rage, or frustration? It may just help to distribute it more evenly between rage,joy,mirth,gratitude, love,lust,anger,jealousy,woe,despair, hatred,pride,calmness,tranquility,redemption.
Please get one of the good recordings. This is the worst possible composition to be played with insipid technique. The public library probably has some of these recordings. Vienna Phil. Berlin Phil. Chicago Symphony (the trumpet solo is KEY). NY Phil (not so hot, unfortunately). Cleveland (fantastic strings)

do you understand Jewish musical quotations? I've always wondered how much Mahler I wasn't understanding because I don't know much about the Jewish music tradition.
