Description
This pioneering book-length study examines the genre of artist-opera through three seminal works: Pfitzner's Palestrina (1915), Krenek's Jonny spielt auf (1926) and Hindemith's Mathis der Maler (1935). The work explores how these operas shaped early twentieth-century German discourse on art's role in modern society, investigating the central artist-character as both dramatic subject and potential compositional persona. Through detailed analysis of these three masterworks, the book reveals how composers used the artist-figure to address fundamental questions about creative practice, social positioning and artistic integrity during a transformative period in European cultural history.

Key Features

Examines Pfitzner's Palestrina (1915), Krenek's Jonny spielt auf (1926) and Hindemith's Mathis der Maler (1935) as pivotal examples.

Explores the relationship between fictional artist-characters and their real composers' ideologies and concerns.

Analyses how artist-operas contributed to early twentieth-century German debates about modernism and artistic value.
