Praise for this book

"This is the first full-length biography of Weill to benefit from the unexpected release of family letters in the early 1980s. . . The author's description of the cultural and social factors that contributed to Weill's metamorphoses as a composer makes this account of his life more compelling than any previous one." --Choice
