	Paul Hindemith biography
		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.
		Among the various duo sonatas written by Hindemith, there are sonatas for violin and piano and for viola and piano that are of interest.

		Paul Hindemith, one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century, was once asked for an analysis of his compositions.
		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.

	From Cedille, a fine collection of Paul Hindemith's chamber music for clarinet. Review By Joe Milicia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.

	Original Masters - Hindemith Conducts Hindemith \| ArkivMusic
		Hindemith was not a particularly great conductor, and the Berlin Philharmonic of the 1950s was a pale shadow of the ensemble that it later became under Karajan, but there are insights here that more than signal the importance of these recordings for collectors.
		Hindemith's no-nonsense approach certainly suits his own music even if he tends to pull back from the more grandiose climaxes (such as at the end of the Symphonic Dances).
		Hindemith's star seems to be on the wane at present, but he was a major composer and hearing this set only reinforces the increasingly positive impression that his music makes as time goes on.

		Hindemith was the greatest German composer of the post-War period, and the last in that great line that began with Bach and extended through the Classical and Romantic periods.
		While Hindemith will never be known for changing the way the world hears music, he will always be recognized as composing well-crafted minor masterpieces, even if they can be a little formulaic and his sense of melody was a little warped.
		First off, HIndemith is one of the most underappreciated and underrated composers of the 20th century.
