Summary
I began this project with two firm convictions: (1) that the work of musicologists should be in the service of humanity, and (2) that the biography of Mieczysław Weinberg stands as a fine example of a life well lived. The lessons from his life and his music could stand us in good stead in the early decades of the twenty-first century, when politics and conflict seem more intractable than ever.
