Description
This fascinating, effervescent dance music came about from Krenek’s outrage over a statement by the German Ambassador to the U.S.A. when the boxer Max Schmeling was visiting, to the effect that prize-fighters were the true cultural envoys of the day. Krenek decided to expose the silly heroes of the modern era by way of music which, he hoped, would become a popular hit song. Heavyweight is also frequently performed as part of a trilogy, along with The Dictator and The Secret Kingdom.
