Hanns Eisler: Suite per orchestra n.5 op.34 "Dans les rues" (1934)

Lovely piece; not great but not everything has to aspire to greatness. Truly evokes the spirit of the '30s; seems as if Eisler (and Copland in the U.S.) caught the leftist sentiments of those times.

还好, but to me - probably in keeping with your latest uploads of ballet music - this is a bit too Ching De Rassa Bum Bam; the best, I think, Eisler did, is his "14 Arten den Regen zu beschreiben", Op. 70 (1941) (Fourteen Ways of Describing the Rain), uploaded, as always meticulously complete with the actual movie it was meant to illustrate, by you in March this year.

Nice. I think Eisler's rejection of modernism was a good move on his part as he went from being a very average expressionist to a great writer of popular and accessible music. I'm a big modernism fan, but I love me a good tune too!
