  • Description:   Post-reunification scholarship on music of the GDR has extensively documented the relationship between party bureaucrats and music professionals, and most studies have advanced a top-down model of power relations between state and composer. Although few aspects of East German culture were free from party oversight, such stereotypical representations reduce East German music to a mere outgrowth of a political system. In many cases, alternative voices sought to reform working conditions for musicians and expand the range of compositional styles deemed acceptable by the party. This chapter describes an episode in which composers challenged the authority of the leaders of the Verband Deutscher Komponisten und Musikwissenschaftler in a public forum: the weekly paper Sonntag. Their ensuing exchange demonstrates that those outside of the upper echelons of musical bureaucracy could have a profound influence on East German aesthetic debates. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
