About Hanns Eisler

Hanns Eisler, born in Leipzig in 1898, was a prolific German-Austrian composer whose life and work spanned continents and ideologies. Known for his unwavering commitment to his Communist beliefs, Eisler's music reflects his political convictions and his deep artistic collaboration with playwright Bertolt Brecht. His most enduring legacy is the national anthem of East Germany, a powerful testament to his ability to capture the spirit of a nation. Eisler's musical journey began under the tutelage of Arnold Schoenberg, from whom he absorbed the principles of serialism. His compositions range from expressionist works that blend humor with angst to more structured pieces that pay homage to traditional forms. Beyond his political anthems and film scores, Eisler's catalog includes a variety of chamber and vocal works, showcasing his versatility and depth as a composer. His influence endures, with the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin named in his honor, celebrating his enduring impact on music education and the broader musical landscape.
