| Summary |
From the mid-1910s until his tragic death in 1924, Louis A. Hirsch was one of the best and most celebrated composers of the American musical theater. From 1911 until 1924, Hirsch's 18 Broadway musical comedies and revues spotlighted him as Jerome Kern's only true rival, and made mega-stars of several young performers. Hirsch's work is important because of its influence on American theater music, combining his Jewish heritage with classical, ragtime, blues, and early jazz. |
