There are multiple collections named Hollywood-Elegien. Originally, Eisler set 5 of Brecht's texts as 5 Hollywood-Elegien; in the next two years, he added two more. These seven are found back-to-back in his Hollywood Liederbuch. It appears as though some later publications included one more song ("The rat men"), and rearranged the numbering of others. At this point, I can't determine whether this later version is Eisler's definitive numbering and collection, or whether it's an editorial choice. To further complicate matters, the volumes from which these pieces were scanned collect Nos. 1-3 and 5-7 as Die Hollywood-Elegien, and publish No.4 separately. As it is, on this page seven Hollywood elegies are in the order they appear in his Hollywood Liederbuch.
