The story is twofold - of impoverishment for the countries the musicians left behind and enrichment for the United States. The latter is the focus of this collection, which approaches the subject from diverse perspectives, including documentary-style newspaper accounts and an exploration of Walt Whitman's poetry in the work of Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Music -- United States -- 20th century -- History and criticism National socialism and music.
