The Days Grow Short: The Life and Music of Kurt Weill

This solid biography capably covers musician Kurt Weill's life (including a tactful account of his unconventional marriage to Lotte Lenya), but concentrates on the music, refuting charges that Weill's American work betrayed his talent in search of commercial success.

“If you are thinking of doing any research on Kurt Weill, THIS is the place to start.” --Michael P. Nolan, Amazon Reviews
