Richard Strauss, distinguished composer, resigned yesterday as president of the Third Reich’s Music Chamber. He said he was stepping out because of “advanced age” but it was no secret that his withdrawal was a result of politics.
ZWEIG’S PART RESENTED
When Strauss’s latest opera, “The Silent Woman,” was presented at Dresden three weeks ago Nazi leaders were significantly absent. This, it was understood, was traceable directly to their resentment over his retention of Stefan Zweig, renowned Jewish author, to write the libretto for the opera.
Production of “The Silent Woman” provoked a fight in Nazi ranks between factions of Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister, and Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, philosophic dictator and pagan faith leader.
Goebbels permitted the presentation of the opera, apparently fearing an international scandal if he refused, but Rosenberg opposed this action vigorously.
