Description

Explore the life and legacy of one of the most significant figures in 20th-century music. This book by Cambridge University Press examines the career of Hanns Eisler, a composer whose influence on German music mirrors the literary impact of Bertolt Brecht. Having worked closely with Brecht for nearly thirty years, Eisler remains a central figure in musical history. This text provides a detailed look at Eisler as one of the three great pupils of Schoenberg, alongside Webern and Berg. The content follows the historical framework established by Albrecht Betz, which divides Eisler's life and music into four distinct periods. Readers can trace his journey from his early formative years as a student in Vienna up to 1925, through his influential time in Berlin from 1926 to 1933, and into his years of exile. Whether you are a student of music history or a researcher interested in political vocal music, this book offers a deep dive into the musical eras that shaped a revolutionary composer. This copy is a used book in good condition, making it an accessible addition to any academic or music lover's library.
