| Summary |
Despite the apparent incompatibility between Mozart's humanitarian and cosmopolitan outlook and Nazi ideology, the Third Reich tenaciously promoted the great composer's music to further the goals of the fascist regime. In this revelatory book, Erik Levi draws on period articles, diaries, speeches and other archival materials to provide a new understanding of how the Nazis shamelessly manipulated Mozart for their own political advantage |
