Twisted Muse : Musicians and Their Music In The Third Reich.

A broad survey of musicians and the music they composed and performed during the Third Reich. Michael 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. This work 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.
