Several of the authors (Peter Franklin, Stephen Hefling, John Williamson, Zoltan Roman and Morten Solvik, to name but a few) featured in the CCM are doubly or triply represented in these other collections, which is not surprising considering the importance of their contributions to the field of Mahler research. Since these authors were called upon to write about aspects of Mahler's music in which they have specialized, however, the reader may observe (in the CCM) a tendency to gloss over subjects that have been covered elsewhere, and will frequently feel the need to cross-reference other sources.
