Kurt Weill
Kurt Julian Weill (; March 2, 1900April 3, 1950) was a German composer, active from the 1920s in his native country, and in his later years in the United States. He was a leading composer for the stage who was best known for his fruitful collaborations with Bertolt Brecht. With Brecht, he developed productions such as his best-known work ''The Threepenny Opera'', which included the ballad "Mack the Knife". Weill held the ideal of writing music that served a socially useful purpose.〔(Kurt Weill ). Cjschuler.net.

==Personal life==
Weill was born on March 2, 1900, the third of four children to Albert Weill (1867–1950) and Emma Weill (née Ackermann; 1872–1955). He grew up in a religious Jewish family in the "Sandvorstadt", the Jewish quarter in Dessau, Germany, where his father was a cantor. At the age of twelve, Kurt Weill started taking piano lessons and made his first attempts at writing music; his earliest preserved composition was written in 1913 and is titled ''Mi Addir. Jewish Wedding Song''.〔Stephen Hinton, Jürgen Schebera (editors). ''Musik und musikalisches Theater – Gesammelte Schriften'', 2000: Schott Musik International, Mainz – ISBN 3-7957-0423-5, p 540〕
In 1915, Weill started taking private lessons with Albert Bing, Kapellmeister at the "Herzogliches Hoftheater zu Dessau", who taught him piano, composition, music theory, and conducting. Weill performed publicly on piano for the first time in 1915, both as an accompanist and soloist. The following years he composed numerous Lieder to the lyrics of poets such as Joseph von Eichendorff, Arno Holz, and Anna Ritter, as well as a cycle of five songs titled ''Ofrahs Lieder'' to a German translation of a text by Yehuda Halevi.〔Hinton & Schebera, pp 540–541〕
Weill graduated with an Abitur from the ''Oberrealschule'' of Dessau in 1918, and enrolled at the Berliner Hochschule für Musik at the age of 18, where he studied composition with Engelbert Humperdinck,〔 conducting with Rudolf Krasselt, and counterpoint with Friedrich E. Koch, and also attended philosophy lectures by Max Dessoir and Ernst Cassirer. The same year, he wrote his first string quartet (in B minor).〔Hinton & Schebera, pp 541〕
