Mahler's involvement with the Weber family was complicated by Mahler's alleged romantic attachment to Carl von Weber's wife Marion Mathilde (1857–1931) which, though intense on both sides (so it was rumoured for example by English composer Ethel Smyth, but it is very unlikely), ultimately came to nothing.
A relación de Mahler coa familia Weber complicouse debido á presunta relación sentimental coa muller de Carl von Weber, Marion Mathilde (1857–1931), que, aínda que intensa por ambas partes (así rumoreábase por, por exemplo, a compositora inglesa Ethel Smyth, mais é moi improbable), finalmente non chegou a nada.
