Hanns Eisler gehort nicht nur zu den produktivsten und vielseitigsten Musikern des 20. Jahrhunderts, sein Name steht insbesondere fur die Idee des politischen Komponierens unter den besonderen, oft widerspruchlichen Bedingungen seiner und unserer Zeit. Die in der Vergangenheit unter wechselnden Vorzeichen erfolgte ideologische Auseinandersetzung mit Person und Werk des Komponisten hat den Blick auf die Intelligenz und Schonheit seiner Musik nicht selten verstellt. Der nun wieder zunehmenden Hinwendung zu seinem ouvre wird mit dieser Biographie zum 100. Geburtstag Rechnung getragen, die dem Leser erstmals umfassendes Material zum Leben Eislers zuganglich macht. Der Autor hat sich 30 Jahren mit Hanns Eisler befasst und konnte fur sein Buch eine Vielzahl bisher unveroffentlichter Dokumente und Bilder aus offentlichem und privatem Besitz heranziehen.

It takes a historico-critical approach and seeks to document the history of the works and writings by shedding light on their transformations, thus identifying the various versions as witnesses of evolving aesthetic and historical positions. Eislers complete oeuvre (only a limited number of his works had penetrated the publics awareness up until the 1990s) first became the object of an editorial undertaking when the Eisler - Gesammelte Werke (EGW) was founded by Nathan Notowicz. It was later placed under the direction of Manfred Grabs and Eberhardt Klemm, and began issuing its publications in 1968 through the intermediary of the Deutscher Verlag fur Musik in Leipzig. However, only four volumes of music and five volumes of writings were published. The Hanns Eisler Complete Edition pursues the work begun at that time, although it has had to fundamentally revise its editorial principles. In this respect, the Hanns Eisler Complete Edition can be considered as a completely new editorial undertaking. It became necessary to reconceive the organization of the volumes and series as well as the editorial guidelines in order to adapt the standards of historico-critical editing generally applicable today to the specific and sometimes singular circumstances of Eislers works.The Critical Commentaries pertaining to the main volumes follow the music section or, whenever they are too extensive, appear in a special volume.Series I: Choral MusicSeries II: Music for Voice and Instrumental Ensemble or OrchestraSeries III: Music for Voice and PianoSeries IV: Instrumental MusicSeries V: Incidental MusicSeries VI: Film MusicSeries VII: Sketches and FragmentsSeries VIII: Arrangements of works by other composersSeries IX: Writings, Letters and InterviewsSON 501 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2003.SON 502 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2007.

However, only four volumes of music and five volumes of writings were published. The Hanns Eisler Complete Edition pursues the work begun at that time, although it has had to fundamentally revise its editorial principles. In this respect, the Hanns Eisler Complete Edition can be considered as a completely new editorial undertaking. It became necessary to reconceive the organization of the volumes and series as well as the editorial guidelines in order to adapt the standards of historico-critical editing generally applicable today to the specific and sometimes singular circumstances of Eislers works.The Critical Commentaries pertaining to the main volumes follow the music section or, whenever they are too extensive, appear in a special volume.Series I: Choral MusicSeries II: Music for Voice and Instrumental Ensemble or OrchestraSeries III: Music for Voice and PianoSeries IV: Instrumental MusicSeries V: Incidental MusicSeries VI: Film MusicSeries VII: Sketches and FragmentsSeries VIII: Arrangements of works by other composersSeries IX: Writings, Letters and InterviewsSON 501 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2003.SON 502 has been awarded the German Music Edition Prize 2007.

The major upheavals that transformed society and musical aesthetics during the first half of the 20th century also profoundly affected the life of Hanns Eisler, as well as his compositions and writings. The importance and scope of Eislers oeuvre are reason enough to make his works accessible to musical scholarship and practice in a comprehensive fashion. Price reduction for a subscription.

Hanns Eislers Wiener Arbeiten nach der Ruckkehr aus dem Exil

ISBN 9783765103827. 6.5 x 9.5 inches.

Hanns Eisler's native Vienna is the point of convergence for the approach to three complexes in his life and works: re-emigration, film music and incidental music. At the center is the period between Eisler's return from exile in the U.S. in 1948 and the end of his compositional engagement in Vienna, which was closely connected to the withdrawal of the Soviet occupational forces from Austria in 1955. At the center of Eisler's film and incidental music are three major works which Peter Schweinhardt examines on the basis of widely unknown musical material and documents: the filming of Brecht's Herr Puntila und sein Knecht Matti (1955), the work on the script of the Fidelio screen adaptation by Walter Felsenstein (1953-56) and the incidental music to Nestroy's Hollenangst (1948). This lengthy score is characteristic of Eisler's post-war project of a new, folkloristic-classicistic music.

The Call for Papers for an Eisler Congress in England met with a surprisingly lively response, and the well-attended event at the Institute of Musical Research of the University of London in April 2010 led to a variety of interesting results. The thematic spectrum of the mainly British and German scholars ranged from Eislers short period of exile in the 1930s to the present-day reception and re-interpretation of his works in England through, for example, the rock musician Sting. All the texts in this volume are published in English with German abstracts.

Unvermi ndert wird uber Hanns Eisler diskutiert wie uber nur wenige andere Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war und ist sowohl als Musiker als auch als Gesellschaftsbeobachter und -kritiker im Gesprach. Aufgrund judischer Herkunft und kommunistischer Gesinnung verbrachte er die 1930er und 1940er Jahre im Exil, danach fanden vor allem seine neuen Kompositionen grossen Anklang. Bei einem seiner Befurworter handelte es sich um Bertolt Brecht, der besonders das Erscheinen seiner Lieder und Kantaten unterstutzte. Der renommierte Eisler-Experte Fritz Hennenberg legt hier eine durchgesehene und vollstandig aktualisierte Fassung seines Buchs vor, die sich nach wie vor durch eine angenehme und anschauliche Sprache bei hoher Qualitat auszeichnet.

Eisler for the Present Age In 2012, the 50th anniversary of Hanns Eisler's death was the occasion at an international symposium for a review of the current Eisler research. The range of topics in this volume of more or less extensively revised symposium papers covers the analysis of various compositional and aesthetic aspects, especially from film music, via the historiographically-orien ted survey of the stages of the composer's biography (in Denmark, USA, Austria, Germany) to the general consideration of Eisler's position in the past and the present. Investigating the history of the Eisler reception in Japan turns out to be real virgin territory.

Exiled from Nazi Germany, the composer Hanns Eisler moved to Los Angeles in April 1942 to make a living in the Hollywood film industry. After some time of struggling, he finally was commissioned to compose the music for Fritz Lang's anti-Nazi film Hangmen Also Die , whose script was in large part written by Bertolt Brecht. Following this, Eisler worked together with Theodor W. Adorno on the book Composing for the Films . Completed in 1944, it was not until 1947 that an English version of the book was published by Oxford University Press. Shortly before the book went into print, Adorno withdrew his co-authorship in order to avoid attracting the attention of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The study provides detailed analyses and correlations of the book Composing for the Films and the soundtrack of Hangmen Also Die. The reflections on Adorno's and Eisler's book outline the complex textual history, problems arising in connection with the co-authorship, and essential views and theses, not least in view of the aspect of the Composition for the Hollywood Film. The part on the film music of Hangmen Also Die focuses mainly on its in-depth analysis. The study is based on extensive archive research and contributes not only to explore Eisler's life and oeuvre but also to the research of Adorno and Brecht as well as general music in exile and film music.
