Cohen traces a history of modernism in migration through the composer Stefan Wolpe, from the Bauhaus to Black Mountain College.

Recenzje

"The importance of this well-researched book on German-born composer Stefan Wolpe lies as much in descriptions of milieux as in its treatment of Wolpe and his music … The book compares favorably with extant Wolpe scholarship … It will be required reading for scholars of twentieth-century music."
