Early years and Bertolt Brecht
Hanns Eisler served as a front-line soldier in the Austro-Hungarian army during the Great War and was wounded several times in combat. He studied from 1919 to 1923 under Arnold Schoenberg, returning to Vienna after Austria's humiliatal. Eisler was the first of Schoenberg's followers to compose in the twelve-tone or serial style. He married Charlotte Demant in 1920; they divorced in 1934. He migrated to Berlin in 1925, making it the nation's biggest place of experimentation in music, theater, film, art, and politics. There, he became a leading supporter of the German Communist Party and joined the November Party. He studied at the Marxist Workers' School in Berlin in 1928, and his son Georg Eisler, who would go on to be a famous painter, was born. His music grew increasingly focused on political themes, with jazz and cabaret influences influencing his style, much to Schoenberg's surprise. He drew near to Bertolt Brecht, who's own step toward Marxism occurred at the same time. The artist's collaboration lasted for the remainder of Brecht's life.
Eisler's 1929 work, Friedensausschnitte, Op. 11. Margot Hinnenberg-Lefebre is the subject of this project. Despite being not written in the twelve-tone style, it was perhaps the forerunner of a contemporary art style, "News Items" (or perhaps better described as "news clippings) – musical works that parodied a newspaper's content and style, or even excerpted directly from newspapers, leaflets, magazines, or other day-time written media. The cycle parodies a newspaper's layout and content, with the songs accompanying it being given titles that mimic headlines. Its text echoes Eisler's socialist leanings, with lyrics describing ordinary Germans who were exposed to post-World War I hardships.
Eisler wrote music for several Brecht plays, including The Decision (Die Maßnahme) (1930) and Schweik in the Second World War (1957). They also worked on protest songs that commemorated and contributed to Weimar Germany's political turmoil in the early 1930s. Their "Solidarity Song" became a hit in street marches and public meetings around Europe, and their "Ballad of Paraphrasedoutput" became Europe's first song protesting laws against abortion. This period of Brecht-Eisler's recordings appeared to be viewed from "below" -- from the viewpoint of prostitutes, hustlers, the unemployed, and the working poor. Kuhle Wampe, a British-class film made in 1931-1932, he collaborated with Brecht and director Slatan Dudow on Kuhle Wampe.
