The complete score of Gustav Mahler & #039;s Second Symphony was sold in London for £4.5 million on Tuesday, a record for a musical manuscript, Sotheby & #039;s auction house said. The score was owned by US businessman Gilbert Kaplan who became obsessed with the work, known as the & quot;Resurrection Symphony & quot;, and dedicated his life to conducting it before his death earlier this year. The only comparable sales, both sold at Sotheby & #039;s, were a manuscript of nine Mozart symphonies for £2.5 million ($3.1 million, 3 million euros) in 1987 and the manuscript of Robert Schumann & #039;s Second Symphony for £1.5 million in 1994.
