Kurt Weill

This is the first book on the best-known of the Weill-Brecht collaborations to explore the extent and significance of the composer's contribution. After a detailed reconstruction of the work's genesis and continued revision over three decades, Stephen Hinton examines the spin-offs on which Weill and Brecht participated: Kim Kowalke provides an account of the history of The Threepenny Opera in America, Geoffrey Abbott addresses questions concerning performance practice, and David Drew analyses large-scale motivic relationships in the music.Hinton, Stephen is the author of 'Kurt Weill', published 1990 under ISBN 9780521338882 and ISBN 0521338883.
