Description
This volume forms part of the "Life and Times" series of compact and accessible biographies which cover key political, literary and musical figures. This title is about the life and work of Kurt Weill, whose work was inextricably linked to the artistic peaks and the political lows of the 1920s. With Bertholt Brecht, Weill founded a new politicized song style before emigrating to the US in 1935. There his attention turned to musicals and his impact can be heard in the work of figures as diverse as Louis Armstrong and Hans Werner Henze.
