Unmistakably Teutonic in its sound. It’s funny that you have put the work of Krenek; a composer beloved by the Third Reich with a picture castigated as ‘degenerate art’ by the same people. This guy loves horns and timpani, it has a free flowing feel that almost has a jazz pattern.
Robert Hourigan that’s a simple case of a mistype. I meant to type “a composer not beloved by the Third Reich”. I thought it was funny that the video had two forms of entertete kunst at once. I pointed out that Krenek wrote in a freestyle jazz form and jazz was certainly hated by the Third Reich also I think that proves that I’ve read about Ernst Krenek, anyone who has would know he was not loved by the Nazis.
Not exactly beloved. "The jazz-influenced score of Jonny spielt auf and its central character of a black jazz musician (who is also seen womanising and stealing a priceless violin) brought Krenek the opprobrium of the nascent Nazi Party; the image of Jonny was distorted to form the centrepiece of the poster advertising the Entartete Musik exhibition of so-called 'degenerate' music in 1938. Krenek was frequently named as a Jewish composer during the Third Reich, although he was not, and was intimidated by the regime until his emigration;"

Krenek was in no way admired by the NAZI'S. Do a little research before opening your trap.
