Die erste umfassende wissenschaftliche Studie uber den osterreichischen Komponisten auf der Basis zahlreicher unveroffentlichter Quellen. Ausgehend von der Darstellung personlicher wie politischer Erfahrungen des jungen von Einem mit dem Nationalsozialismus im ersten Teil, werden im zweiten Teil Zusammenhange von "Musik und Politik" nach 1945 hinsichtlich der organisatorischen Einfluanahme von Einems auf die Salzburger Festspiele und im Spiegel seiner Begegnung mit Bertolt Brecht konkretisiert. Der dritte Teil veranschaulicht, inwieweit sowohl pragende Erlebnisse (NS-Zeit, "Kalter Krieg", 68er-Bewegung) als auch die Zusammenarbeit mit Literaten wie Durrenmatt im Opernschaffen ihren kompositorischen Niederschlag fanden. Mit einem Interview des Autors mit Gottfried von Einem und weiteren Dokumenten oDie distanzierte Fairnea, die Thomas Eickhoff Gottfried von Einem entgegenbringt, die Akribie seiner Quellenforschung und die Bedachtsamkeit seines Urteils ermoglichen nicht nur einen differenzierten Blick auf die Einzelpersonlichkeit, sondern offnen zugleich die Augen fur die Zerrissenheit und Widerspruchlichkeit eines ganzen Zeitalters, uber dessen Musiker-Akteure man gerne mehr solcher sorgfaltig-brillanter Studien zur Verfugung hatte" FAZ "Mit dieser Arbeit ist Eickhoff ein umfassender Blick in die kulturpolitische Entwicklung Deutschlands und Osterreichs wahrend der Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit gelungen, der in seiner Vielseitigkeit kaum Wunsche offen laat."

KAUFEN!
This book is one of the most wonderful kids books I've ever come across! The author is austrian and the rhymes and flow of the words are so very typical for the way we speak German in Austria. I am currently living in the US and my daughter LOVES this book. The moral of the story is, that it doesn't matter where you are, as long as you are with people you love and care about, you're fine! I highly recommend this for any German speaking child!!!! ... Read more

Excerpt: Victor Kugler (5 June 1900, Hohenelbe/Vrchlabí - 16 December 1981, Toronto) was one of the people who helped hide Anne Frank and her family and friends during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. In Anne Frank's posthumously published diary, The Diary of a Young Girl, he was referred to under the name Mr. Kraler. Born in Hohenelbe (now Vrchlabí) in the German-speaking part of Köninggrätz region (Královéhradecký kraj/Hradec Králové Region), north-eastern Bohemia, Austria-Hungary (now in the Czech Republic), he joined the Austrian Navy during the First World War once his education was completed, but was discharged in 1918 after being wounded. He moved to Germany and worked as an electrician, then in 1920 moved to Utrecht, Holland to work for a company selling pectin. He joined the Amsterdam branch of Opekta as Otto Frank's deputy in 1924. He became a Dutch citizen in May 1938. In 1940 this allowed him to prevent the Nazi confiscation of Opekta and he accepted the directorship of the business, renamed Gies and Co, from Otto Frank. He and his wife Laura Maria Buntenbach-Kugler (10 May 1895 - 6 December 1952) lived in Hilversum during the war, a distance of about sixteen miles from Amsterdam. From July 1942 to August 1944 he aided his colleagues Miep Gies, Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl in the concealment of eight people, including Anne Frank in a sealed-off annexe in their office premises on Amsterdam's Prinseng...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2065535 ...
