Many Italian intellectuals and artists agreed, but like all other authoritarian governments, Mussolini's sought to control all aspects of society -- including its cultural life. Sachs examines the way this pressure manifested itself in the musical sphere, how individual composers reacted to it, and how it affected Italy's musical institutions. He also describes Il Duce's own musical pretensions, the pro-Fascist declarations of foreign musicians from Paderewski to Stravinsky, and the effects on Italian musical life of the anti-Semitic edicts of 1939 and of the alliance with Hitler's Germany.

Radical composer (1900-1950), collaborator on political-musical masterworks like Brecht's 'The Threepenny Opera', which launched both their careers. 'The work of both was in great demand until the Nazis suppressed them. By coincidence, Brecht and Weill landed in Paris after escaping the Nazi menace. Both were broke and desperate for work. They were not looking for work together, however. Their collaboration had ended, bitterly, three years previously. By 1933, Weill found Brecht's personality, aesthetics and Communist politics intolerable. He was stuck with Brecht for one more project, though, and 'Seven Deadly Sins' was the result of this unhappy arrangement.' - The Daily Bleed (online).
