Starting all over again. New music in post-war Germany

Synopsis

In Post-war Germany of 1945, even music went back to square one: New sounds were to make the Germans better people, according to the plans of the Allies. With their support, musicians went back to those sounds that had been forbidden by the Nazis. Atonal and twelve-tone music was now on the concert programs, including contemporary music hailing from the occupying powers' countries. However, with the beginning of the Cold War and the division of Europe into East and West, a change sets in: Music, too, became a weapon in the struggle of the systems.
