music by non-german composers was tolerated if it was classically inspired, tonal, and not by a composer of jewish origin or having ties to ideologies hostile to the third reich. the nazis recognized franz liszt for having german origin and fabricated a genealogy that purported that frédéric chopin was german. the nazi governor-general of occupied poland even had a "chopin museum" built in kraków. music of the russian peter tchaikovsky could be performed in nazi germany even after operation barbarossa. operas by gioacchino rossini, giuseppe verdi and giacomo puccini got frequent play. the most performed modern non-german composers prior to the outbreak of war were claude debussy, maurice ravel, jean sibelius and igor stravinsky. after the outbreak of war, the music of german allies became more often performed, including the hungarian béla bartók, the italian ottorino resphigi and the finn jean sibelius. composers of enemy nations (such as debussy, ravel and stravinsky) were largely banned and almost never performed – although there were some exceptions.
