Summary:

Carl Loewe, Or, The Great Misunderstanding: Attempt at an Explanation – While Carl Loewe’s works tend to be viewed as stuffy and old-fashioned nowadays, the author uses interpretation-historical analyses to show that the contemporary view of Loewe is still tied to an interpretative approach closely connected to the nationalistic propaganda of the German Reich in the Bismarck era, and later the Third Reich. This approach, however, directly contradicts the way in which the composer himself performed his works.
