Viac o knihe

The book delves into the complex interplay between music and politics during a tumultuous era, particularly focusing on the Nazi exploitation of musical attitudes in the late Weimar Republic. Drawing on contemporary documents, it details the systematic control of musical life in Germany and occupied territories post-1933. The study also highlights how xenophobia, racism, and anti-modernism influenced the distribution of music across various platforms, including opera houses, concert halls, and media channels.
