In the first musicological study of Kurt Weill's complete stage
works, Stephen Hinton charts the full range of theatrical
achievements by one of twentieth-century musical theater's key
figures. Hinton shows how Weill's 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 Weill's 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.
