Is music removed from politics? To what ends, beneficent or malevolent, can music and musicians be put? In short, when human rights are grossly abused and politics turned to fascist demagoguery, can art and artists be innocent? These questions and their implications are explored in Michael H. Kater's broad survey of musicians and the music they composed and performed during the Third Reich. Kater examines the value of music for the Nazi regime and the degree to which the regime attained a positive propaganda and palliative effect through the manner in which it manipulated its musicians, and by extension, German music. "The broadest and dearest study of classical music in Hitler's Germany that has appeared to date.....Anyone interested in the depressing but fascinating subject of art and politics will find this book exceptionally worthwhile". -- Wall Street Journal.
Review:
"[Kater's] account, despite its flaws, is the most thorough and nuanced now available of Nazi musical alliances, allegiances and ambiguities, amplifying the more journalistic survey in Fred K. Prieberg's pioneering 'Musik im NS-Stadt' (1982)."
Edward Rothstein, New York Times Book Review, 06/27/1997

Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 234 x 156 mm. Brand New Book. Is music removed from politics? To what ends, beneficent or malevolent, can music and musicians be put? In short, when human rights are grossly abused and politics turned to fascist demagoguery, can art and artists be innocent? These questions and their implications are explored in Michael Kater's broad survey of musicians and the music they composed and performed during the Third Reich. Great and small--from Valentin Grimm, a struggling clarinetist, to Richard Strauss, renowned composer--are examined by Kater, sometimes in intimate detail, and the lives and decisions of Nazi Germany's professional musicians are laid out before the reader. Kater tackles the issue of whether the Nazi regime, because it held music in crassly utilitarian regard, acted on musicians in such a way as to consolidate or atomize the profession. Kater's examination of the value of music for the regime and the degree to which the regime attained a positive propaganda and palliative effect through the manner in which it manipulated its musicians, and by extension, German music, is of importance for understanding culture in totalitarian systems.This work, with its emphasis on the social and political nature of music and the political attitude of musicians during the Nazi regime, will be the first of its kind.It will be of interest to scholars and general readers eager to understand Nazi Germany, to music lovers, and to anyone interested in the interchange of music and politics, culture and ideology.

Michael Kater's work probes the relationship of music to society and politics in the Nazi regime, 1933-1945. It addresses the question of whether or not the Nazi regime, which utilized music and musicians for the regime's own political purposes, controlled the musicians and the music, or whether these remained in some measure autonomous. A major question is also answered in these pages: how did the creative genius survive? (Paperback).
