Description: "Kurt Weill covers the composer's entire life, from his German-Jewish heritage and early political experiences to his legendary relationship with Lotte Lenya and his late-life experiments with the "concept musical." No significant event - or song - is left out. Farneth brings together text and photos from public and private archives in five different countries to assemble this biographical document.

With 900 photographs, including stills, musical scores, playbills, the composer's notes and other original artwork, Kurt Weill is an addition to any theater or music lover's collection."--BOOK JACKET.
