柯特·威爾(Kurt Weill,1900-1950)是德裔美國作曲家,以其對音樂劇的傑出貢獻而聞名。他於1920年代在德國嶄露頭角,隨後於1935年移居美國。威爾早期的作品常呈現表現主義和實驗風格,但他後來轉向更廣受歡迎的曲風,融入了流行音樂、爵士樂和美國舞曲的元素。
他與劇作家貝爾托爾特·布萊希特(Bertolt Brecht)的合作尤其具影響力,共同創作了許多尖銳的社會諷刺作品。威爾的目標是創作具有社會功用的音樂。他逃離納粹德國後,定居美國並成為美國公民,在那裡他繼續為百老匯作曲,發展出獨特的「美式」音樂風格。威爾的職業生涯因心臟病發作而英年早逝,享年50歲。

Kurt Weill (1900-1950) was a German-born American composer, renowned for his significant contributions to musical theater. He initially gained prominence in Germany during the 1920s, before emigrating to the United States in 1935. Weill's early works often featured an expressionistic and experimental style, but he later moved towards a more broadly appealing sound, incorporating elements of popular music, jazz, and American dance idioms.
His collaborations with playwright Bertolt Brecht were particularly impactful, producing works that were sharp social satires. Weill aimed to create music with a socially useful purpose. After fleeing Nazi Germany, he settled in the U.S. and became an American citizen, where he continued to compose for Broadway, developing a distinct "American" musical style. Weill's career was tragically cut short when he died of a heart attack at the age of 50.
