The Czech composer Pavel Haas (1899-1944) is commonly positioned in
the history of twentieth-century music as a representative of Leos
Janacek's compositional school and as one of the Jewish composers
imprisoned by the Nazis in the concentration camp of Terezin
(Theresienstadt). However, the nature of Janacek's influence
remains largely unexplained and the focus on the context of the
Holocaust tends to yield a one-sided view of Haas's oeuvre. The
existing scholarship offers limited insight into Haas's
compositional idiom and does not sufficiently explain the
composer's position with respect to broader aesthetic trends and
artistic networks in inter-war Czechoslovakia and beyond. This book
is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive (albeit necessarily
selective) discussion of Haas's music since the publication of
Lubomir Peduzzi's 'life and work' monograph in 1993. It provides
the reader with an enhanced understanding of Haas's music through
analytical and hermeneutical interpretation as well as cultural and
aesthetic contextualisation, and thus reveal the rich nuances of
Haas's multi-faceted work which have not been sufficiently
recognised so far.
