Similarly with Mahler. and forget not that Romantic music isn't romantic music, if you know what i'm saying.

Mahler wasn't part of the Romantic movement! He lived at the end of the 19th century, and the romantic impulse had died down by then. If you want to think Romantic, think: Mendelssohn, Tchaik, Brahms, Schumann, etc... Mahler, Richard Strauss... they were part of the German post-romantic movemement at the turn of the century.
