"How does creativity thrive in the face of fascism? How can a highly artistic individual function professionally in so threatening a climate?" "Here, historian Michael H. Kater provides a detailed study of the often interrelated careers of eight prominent German composers who lived and worked amid the dictatorship of the Third Reich, or were driven into exile by it.".
"Kater weighs issues of accommodation and resistance to ask whether these artists corrupted themselves in the service of a criminal regime - and if so, whether this may be discerned from their music."--BOOK JACKET.
