Double-weighted statement
This book, which has already been translated into Japanese and Turkish, utilises a huge range of unexplored primary sources to nuance the ways in which Mozart’s music and his aesthetic outlook were appropriated and distorted by the Nazi regime as a means of bolstering its cultural propaganda programme between 1933 and 1938 and subsequently in the anniversary year of 1941 serving as a vitally important symbol of German musical imperialism during the War. Assembling the material for a book of this scope entailed drawing upon archival material from a great number of libraries throughout Europe.
