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. 606 $aMusical theater$xHistory$y20th century 610 $a20th century composers. 610 $a20th century music. 610 $a20th century musical theater. 610 $a20th century opera. 610 $aamerican entertainment. 610 $aamerican music. 610 $aamerican musical theater. 610 $abroadway musicals. 610 $aeuropean history. 610 $aeuropean musicals. 610 $aeuropean opera. 610 $aeuropean theater. 610 $afamous composers. 610 $agerman composer. 610 $ahistoric composers. 610 $ahistory of broadway. 610 $ahistory of opera. 610 $ahistory of theater. 610 $amusic and theater. 610 $amusic studies. 610 $amusical composers. 610 $amusical fans. 610 $amusical lovers. 610 $amusicological study. 610 $aperforming arts history. 610 $atheatre biographies. 615 0$aMusical theater$xHistory 676 $a782.1092 700 $aHinton$b Stephen$01478822 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779087803321 996 $aWeill's musical theater$93694637 997 $aUNINA
