Metzlersche Verlagsbuchhandlung und Carl Ernst Poeschel Verlag GmbH in Stuttgart 1971 VORBEMERKUNG Der Band »Bertolt Brecht«, 1961 erstmals erschienen und 1963 in einer verbesserten und erweiterten Fassung vorgelegt, ist für die dritte Auflage gründlidt revidiert, ergänzt und auf den letzten Stand gebracht worden. Nur im darstellenden Teil konnten einige Abschnitte unverändert übernommen werden; alles übrige, insbesondere die Masse der Literaturangaben, wur­ de völlig neu erarbeitet. Ziel des Bandes ist es nadt wie vor, dem an Bredtt Interessierten eine erste Einführung zu geben und dem Bredtt-Forscher zur vorläufigen Orientierung zu dienen. Idt war daher wiederum bemüht, alle erreidtbaren Daten und Fakten zu sammeln, auf persönliche Deutung und Wertung hin­ gegen weitgehend zu verzichten. Der gelegentlich geäußerten Anregung, dezidierte Urteile zu fällen, bin idt nicht gefolgt. Mein Band will keinem vorschreiben, was denn von Bredtt "eigentlich" zu halten sei; er will statt dessen möglidtst vielen hel­ fen, sich selber ein Bild von Bredtt zu verschaffen. Erschwerend kommt ja hinzu, daß es noch immer keine braudtbare Biblio­ graphie gibt. Die verdienstvolle Zusammenstellung von Nubel datiert bereits von 1957; die späteren Versuche von Petersen sind in jeder Hinsidtt unvollständig; und auf das Erscheinen der von der Ostberliner Akademie der Künste seit langem an­ gekündigten Gesamtbibliographie zu Bredtt wird man nodt eine Weile warten müssen. Der vorliegende Band stellt deshalb notgedrungen auch einen bibliographischen Beitrag dar. Daß er seinerseits weder lückenlos noch fehlerfrei sein kann, weiß ich nur zu gut. Die ständig anschwellende Sekundärliteratur in vielen Sprachen läßt sich von einem einzelnen kaum mehr befriedi­ gend erfassen, geschweige denn durch Autopsie überprüfen. Im­ merhin: was in meinen Kräften stand, ist geschehen. Die fast ungeteilte Zustimmung, die der Band bisher nicht bloß in Deutschland, sondern gerade auch im Ausland gefunden hat, war mir ein Ansporn, diese Kärrnerarbeit, die zugleim eine Si­ syphusarbeit war, auf mich zu nehmen. Ob man freilich ihr Ergebnis, wie Paolo Chiarini und Peter Dernetz dies freund- V lieherweise getan habent, weiterhin als "ottimo manuale" und "indispensable" werten wird, muß offenbleiben. Aber einen ge­ wissen Nutzwert im Sinne Brechts wird man dem Band wohl auch künftig zusprechen. Der großzügigen Hilfe und Unter­ stützung, die ich von verschiedenen Seiten erfuhr, gebührt daran kein geringer Anteil. Ich nenne, stellvertretend für viele, Frau Herta Ramthun vom Bertolt-Brecht-Archiv, die zahlreiche An­ gaben verifizieren half, sowie die Guggenheim Foundation und die Graduate School der University of Wisconsin in Madi­ son, die mich materiell unterstützten. Ihnen und allen anderen, die meine Arbeit gefördert haben, gilt mein aufrichtiger Dank. R.G. 1 Vgl. P. Chiarini, Bertolt Brecht. Saggio sul teatro (Bari 1967), S. 299; Brecht.

    HANNS EISLER EDITION Liner notes Orchestral music (CD1 & 2) passacaglia consists of the first six notes of a “series”), the second Hanns Eisler's political awareness intensified in the Twenties, the and third movements are characterized by a succinct, refined time of the Weimar Republic in Germany. The determining factors simplicity. Particularly in the third movement, Hanns Eisler strove causing this were his bitter experiences during the First World War, to create a new kind of “light music” for proletarian ears, taking up the new perspectives with which the October Revolution had a number of songs which were very popular in the labour imbued him –and many other important twentieth century artists‐ movement around 1930: Bells of Novgorod, Ivan, Dubinushka, In and finally, his growing indignation over the way in which the Vegetable Patch, Song of the Taiga. After introducing motifs musicians were failing to react to the ever‐worsening class conflicts suggesting the workers' hymn Immortal Victims, Hanns Eisler ends and the march of fascism. His radical censure of modern music led the movement with an orchestral version of Warszawjanka and a in 1926 to a rift with Arnold Schoenberg, who disapproved of the quotation of the refrain from the Internationale (“Nations hark to political leanings of his highly talented but refractory pupil (1919 to the signals”). The fourth movement bears the title Hörfleissübung 1922/23), maintaining that his altered philosophy was “not (Study in aural diligence). The twelve‐note theme now appears perceptible in his works”. distinctly in more sophisticated orchestral garb. All in all, the pervasion of the most sophisticated with the simplest is decisive This was true, Hanns Eisler having up to that point exclusively for the formation of structures and patterning.

  • Bertolt Brecht's Furcht Und Elend Des Dritten Reiches
    BERTOLT BRECHT’S BRECHT’S BERTOLT Brecht’s Furcht und Elend des Dritten Reiches (Fear and Misery of the Third Reich) gives a compelling documentary picture of life in Nazi Germany. Close readings of individual scenes are accompanied by a detailed analysis of their role within the play’s overall structure. Contrary to the assumption that it is a work of Aristotelian realism, Brecht is shown to employ covert alienation devices that are an integral part of his literary campaign against Third Reich Germany. This first study in English on the subject of Brecht and fascism offers a corrective to the over-concentration on the play’s artistic aspects. It FURCHT UND ELEND DES DRITTEN REICHES considers Brecht’s relationship to the Popular Front’s campaign against the National Socialist regime. Attention is paid to the play’s genesis, and, A German Exile Drama in the Struggle against Fascism in the case of The Private Life of the Master Race, to the partial shift from the Third Reich of 1933-38 to the war period predicted in the original Furcht und Elend cycle. The play’s central theme of resistance, its propaganda value, and its political and artistic reception are addressed within their historical and ideological framework. The result is a challenging assessment of the play’s strengths and limitations as a response to German totalitarianism. JOHN J. WHITE is Emeritus Professor of German and Comparative Literature at King’s College London, and ANN WHITE is Senior Lecturer in German at Royal Holloway, University of London.

The political thus appears in the personal. It is not bare conditions that are Marxist, but people. The ethical dimension of their action and their forbearance comes into the field of vision. Objectivism finds itself restricted to their conditions. To give an idea of historical situation and generational affinities, the Marxists cited in this article who came of age in the 130 years after MARX’s death will be introduced with their birth years. The way they expressed the characteristics of their specific forms of existence is the material. The same thing can be said of this which has been said of how Wolfgang HEISE (b. 1925) approached the ideas collected in his library: that through them he >could fully make present, at the very least as foreign thinking, even those ideas which are not overtly conveyable, which perhaps cannot even be conceived of in one’s own words< (RESCHKE 1999, 16). Precisely for this reason, and in the expectation of uncomfortable truths, >renegades< too are carefully listened to. Innumerable people have considered themselves Marxists. At the high point of the revolutionary struggles of the twentieth century they counted in the millions. There are fresh influxes, depending on the historical constellations, from ever new generations and regions of the world. There are good reasons for this, >but the reasons are guiding rather than forcing ones<, in Norman GERAS’s (b.

The Other—depicted vari- ously as a political, ideological, or racial opposition to the existence of the imagined German Self—has served as a common enemy against which the na- tion can unite, essentially a vehicle for promoting national spirit. Discussing the historically exclusive nature of German nationalism, Christian Joppke observes, “the German concept of nation thus became more like a weapon than a unifying symbol, the property of some but not of others.” Implicit in this is the perception of an enemy within, a construct of nation in which Self and Other are two sides of the same coin.

    CONTRARY VOICES: HEINE, HÖLDERLIN, AND GOETHE IN THE MUSIC OF HANNS EISLER Heidi Hart A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Carolina- Duke Graduate Program in German Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Thomas Pfau Bryan Gilliam Eric Downing Gabriel Trop Lawrence Kramer Jørgen Bruhn © 2016 Heidi Hart ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Heidi Hart: Contrary Voices: Heine, Hölderlin, and Goethe in the Music of Hanns Eisler (Under the direction of Thomas Pfau) Contrary Voices examines composer Hanns Eisler’s settings of nineteenth-century poetry under changing political pressures from 1925 to 1962. The poets’ ideologically fraught reception histories, both under Nazism and in East Germany, led Eisler to intervene in this reception and voice dissent by radically fragmenting the texts. His musical settings both absorb and disturb the charisma of nineteenth-century sound materials, through formal parody, dissonance, and interruption. Eisler’s montage-like work foregrounds the difficult position of a modernist artist speaking both to and against political demands placed on art. Often the very charisma the composer seeks to expose for its power to sway the body politic exerts a force of its own. At the same time, his text-settings resist ideological rigidity in their polyphonic play. A dialogic approach to musical adaptation shows that, as Eisler seeks to resignify Heine’s problematic status in the Weimar Republic, Hölderlin’s appropriation under Nazism, and Goethe’s status as a nationalist symbol in the nascent German Democratic Republic, his music invests these poetic voices with surprising fragility and multivalence.
