Abstract
-
This dissertation explores the music publishing industry in America from 1938 to 1965 as seen through the letters and documents of the displaced Universal Edition composers and publishers. It presents a previously unpublished collection of letters by the composers Bela Bartok, Arnold Schoenberg, George Antheil, Kurt Weill, and Ernst Krenek, and by the publishing agents Ralph Hawkes, Hans Heinsheimer, Felix Greissle, and Hugo Winter. These documents have been sparingly edited from the original and are surveyed and discussed in each chapter. The documents include a wealth of information on music publishing during this period and show how market trends shaped the music of the Universal Edition composers in the United States from the time of the 1938 Anschluss of Austria, throughout World War II, and into the post-war era.
