Klappentext zu „Weill's Musical Theater “
In the first musicological study of Kurt Weills complete stage works, Stephen Hinton charts the full range of theatrical achievements by one of twentieth-century musical theaters key figures. Hinton shows how Weills experiments with a range of genres - from one-act operas and plays with music to Broadway musicals and film-opera - became an indispensable part of the reforms he promoted during his brief but intense career. Confronting the divisive notion of "two Weills" - one European, the other American - Hinton adopts a broad and inclusive perspective, establishing criteria that allow aspects of continuity to emerge, particularly in matters of dramaturgy. Tracing his extraordinary journey as a composer, the book shows how Weills artistic ambitions led to his working with a remarkably heterogeneous collection of authors, such as Georg Kaiser, Bertolt Brecht, Moss Hart, Alan Jay Lerner, and Maxwell Anderson.

Rezension zu „Weill's Musical Theater “
"Eminently readable, with or without his music playing in the background. Professor Hinton is a fine writer who conveys what he knows and feels in terms insightful, intuitive and nuanced, yet accessible to those of us who are musically marginalized."--Washington Ind Rev of Bks "An in-depth view of the entire oeuvre of Weill's stage compositions... A scholarly and thoroughly researched work... Highly Recommended."--Choice
