Here you can explore the full range of original works by Kurt Weill, as well as many derived or compiled since his lifetime. Works are presented in three categories: Stage works, Concert works, and Songs. Some can be found in more than a single category. The works are searchable, sortable in alphabetical and chronological order, and filterable by original status, parent work title, and scale of instrumental forces.
The Concert Works category gathers together all of Kurt Weill’s works that are suitable for performance in a concert setting. This includes works such as symphonies and chamber music as well as works such as cantatas that combine instruments and voice. A number of independent songs not composed as part of a stage work can be found here. The category further encompasses many compilations and derivative works based on Weill originals after his death. Individual works pages include basic information such as movements, performing forces, and published editions and may also present related media and background information. Listings may be sorted by title or date and filtered by original status and scale of performing forces.
