Delineates continuity and change in the field of music from the Weimar Republic to the Nazi era, and traces the complex relationship between Nazi musical ideology and its practical application in the Nazi state. Music policy between 1933-45 was riddled with ambiguities, compromises, and inconsistencies of outlook, most clearly seen in the disputes between party ideologue Alfred Rosenberg and Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels. Examines Nazi racial policy and state control regarding music in the areas of radio and recording, music publishing, opera, symphony orchestras, music literature and the musical press. On anti-Jewish policies see ch. 3 (pp. 39-81), "Anti-Semitism, " which discusses the removal of Jews from the music profession, the establishment and functions of the Kulturbund deutscher Juden, antisemitic musical propaganda, and the Aryanization of music. Pp. 267-280 contain a detailed chronology of developments in the music field between January 1933-August 1944, including many anti-Jewish instances.

An acclaimed historian of twentieth century Germany provides a vivid account of Hitler’s rise to power and its intimate connection to the Bavarian capital. The immediate aftermath of the Great War and the Versailles Treaty created a perfect storm of economic, social, political and cultural factors which facilitated the rapid rise of Adolf Hitler’s political career and the birth of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party. The breeding ground for this world-changing evolution was the city of Munich. In Hitler’s Munich, renowned historian David Ian Hall examines the origins and growth of Hitler’s National Socialism through the lens of this unique city. By connecting the sites where Hitler and his accomplices built the movement, Hall offers a clear and concrete understanding of the causes, background, motivation, and structures of the Party. Hitler’s Munich is a cultural and political portrait of the city, a biography of the Fuhrer, and a history of National Socialism. All three interacted in this expertly rendered exploration of their interconnections and significance.

Germany is considered a lauded land of music: outstanding composers, celebrated performers and famous orchestras exert great international appeal. Since the 19th century, the foundation of this reputation has been the broad mass of musicians who sat in orchestra pits, played in ensembles for dances or provided the musical background in silent movie theatres. Martin Rempe traces their lives and working worlds, including their struggle for economic improvement and societal recognition. His detailed portrait of the profession ‘from below’ sheds new light on German musical life in the modern era.
