The romance of Weill, the Jewish cantor's son, and Lenya, the Viennese coachman's daughter, changed the history of Western music. With Bertolt Brecht, they created one of the definitive works of the twentieth century, The Threepenny Opera, a smash that would live on in musical theatre history. Weill, the jazz Mozart, was the creator whose work is backstage, unseen. Lenya, his epic-theatre femme fatale, was the performer who put the work into view. They heard the same unique music, but he gave it form while she gave it life. \u003ci\u003eLove Song\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately the story of a great romance scored to some of the twentieth century's greatest music.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEthan Mordden\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of dozens of books, both fiction and nonfiction, including the Buddies cycle (beginning with \u003ci\u003eI've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore\u003c\/i\u003e); standalone novels such as \u003ci\u003eHow Long Has This Been Going On?\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOne Last Waltz\u003c\/i\u003e; and seven volumes spanning the history of the Broadway Musical.
