	YAM October 1995 - Remembering Paul Hindemith
		Hindemith composed almost 300 major pieces, some of which have become concert-hall staples throughout the world (his sonatas are part of the standard repertoire in the training of instrumentalists), and he wrote works in nearly every classical form -- concerto, sonata, symphony, opera, oratorio, and ballet.
		Hindemith was invited to the School as a guest lecturer in the spring of 1940, and a year later was asked to join the faculty as a full-time professor.
		Hindemith dedicated much of his life to encouraging people to make music, rather than to simply listen to it; he refused to allow music to be the sole province of the elite and insisted that it be practiced with the inspired precision of a fine craftsman.

		Hindemith's music until the end of the war mostly remained unpublished at the time, and was of an overtly romantic nature that he soon renounced.
		Hindemith wrote more than a dozen works for his chosen instruments, the viola and viola d'amore (a sweet-sounding variant of the instrument that shares some traits with the viol rather than the violin family).
		Hindemith made the last movement an arrangement of the chorale titled "Vor deinem Thron tret ich hiermit" (I now step before your throne) on the grounds that it had a kingly feeling and dealt with death.

	From Cedille, a fine collection of Paul Hindemith's chamber music for clarinet. Review By Joe Milicia
		Hindemith's music has been dismissed by generations of pundits as dry, academic, "intellectual" in some vaguely derogatory sense--terms that could be applied as fairly to the works of J.S. Bach.
		Written in Hindemith's distinctive mature style — every bar of the piece could only be by this composer—it features a richly complex opening movement, a quirky, witty scherzo, a dirge that matches the depths of Mathis der Maler in passionate intensity, and a brief, breezy finale that transforms motifs of the earlier movements.
		Hindemith wrote a day's worth of music, suitable for performance by students and amateurs, then rehearsed the ensembles.

	Hindemith
		Hindemith's prime creative focus during this period, however, was not on large concert works, as was made clear in a letter written on May 8, 1930 to Mrs.
		While the declaration in part may have served a business purpose (he then asked for a sizeable stipend), it reflects Hindemith's concern that composers not distance themselves from the larger community, a conviction that had grown during the late twenties into a sense of the artist's responsibility to society.
		As early as 1918, Hindemith privately had expressed an interest in exploring the expressive and formal ranges of the genre.

		Hindemith on Trombone, Ronald Barron, Trombone; Fredrik Wanger, piano; Lawrence Isaacson, Scott Hartman, trombone; Douglas Yeo, bass trombone; members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra string section, conducted by Ronald Feldman.
		To the general public, Hindemith has about the worst reputation this side of Schoenberg, and the trombone is familiar as a solo instrument only to people with a special interest in brass playing.
		Barron also takes on one of Hindemith's greatest works, the "Trauermusik" ("Music for Mourning"), originally written for viola and string orchestra, the "Six Chansons," which exist in both solo and choral versions, some duets originally conceived for cello and piano, and basoon and cello, and a masterly five-movement sonata for Alto Horn and Piano.

	The Accordion and Hindemith's Kammermusik
		One of the main innovators of musical modernism, Hindemith was a composer, conductor, violist, educator, and theoretician.
		The climax comes with the quotation, by the trumpet, of a contemporary fox trot in G major, accompanied by scales in all the other eleven major keys, and the end is a manic stretto worthy of any great comedy of the silent screen.
		Hindemith, in the meantime, had disappeared backstage with the other musicians.

		Hindemith’s music will withstand the ups and downs of fashion, but it is sad nevertheless that these should need to be remarked upon on the occasion of, as it were, a post-obituary.
		It is therefore not surprising that in this context Hindemith be considered ‘dull and repetitive’.
		This sort of tour de force is proof enough of the originality of Hindemith, the Violin Concerto of his mature mastery of traditional forms.

	Classical Net Review - Hindemith - Piano Sonatas
		Hindemith was one of those surprising Gould enthusiasms – like the piano music of Richard Strauss, Korngold, and Bizet or the singing of Petula Clark and Barbra Streisand – that would bubble to the surface from time to time with the loud pop of a party cracker or swamp gas, and damn prevailing opinion.
		Hindemith is almost always considerate, although I encountered a fiendish run in the second-movement scherzo and chords in the finale that turned my hair a little grayer.
		Hindemith mainly gives your hands a set of patterns of movement and varies position and combination to yield beautiful music – a kind of jeu des mains.

		Respected as one of the most distinguished viola-players of his time, Hindemith devoted the earlier part of his career to performance, first as a violinist and then as violist in the Amar-Hindemith Quartet, while developing his powers as a composer and his distinctive theories of harmony and of the place of the composer in society.
		Hindemith found himself in open conflict with the National Socialist government of Germany in 1934 with his opera Mathis der Maler, the banning of which brought about the resignation of the conductor Furtwängler from his official positions.

		The fifteen-minute Hindemith sonata, of 1936, is serene and ecstatic, showing no sign of his exhausting work setting up musical life in Turkey that year, nor of his uncertain position at home, where his works were first ignored.

		This recital returns to Hindemith for its close: Eight Pieces, for solo flute, date from 1927; they last about one minute each and cover many moods, but are not especially Hindemithian.

		Basic is Hindemith's contribution to the significance of the term "Music for Use", that is to say, creating music that is easy to be performed by a small group of musicians - even amateurs - and that is even easier for the common listeners to approach it.
		Hindemith was chased - because of his progressive ideas - by the fascist government of Germany and he resorted to the United States where he continued normally his work by teaching and applying his own ideas.
		Hindemith's output is interesting enough, specifically his dramatic music - 8 operas, 3 ballets, choral works, 3 symphonies, a lot of concerts, 6 Kammermusike (chamber music), 7 string quartets, 4 sonatas for violin, 5 sonatas for viola, sonatas for various wind instruments, works for orchestra of amateurs.
