Hanns Eisler's "Hollywooder Liederbuch" – or Hollywood Songbook – has long been known through CD recordings. Yet as a printed book of music, this song cycle, arguably the most important one of the 20th century, has just now become available in German for the first time. Eisler did not personally authorize the compilation and sequence of the 47 songs; however, the title is found on 38 autographs (sometimes with the reductive designation "Hollywooder Liederbüchlein"), and nine further scores can be assigned to the collection both on the basis of chronology and contents.
