Kleine Kammermusik [Little Chamber Music] op. 24, No. 2

Hindemith, P

Kleine Kammermusik op. 24, No. 2 for Woodwind Quintet by Paul Hindemith.

When the 20th century was at its midpoint, Paul Hindemith was regularly cited as one of the most influential composers of his era, along with Stravinsky, Schoenberg, and (at least by connoisseurs) Bartok. Not long after that, his public stock fell sharply. The style with which his name is most strongly connected is that of a punctilious, emotionally cool musical craftsman writing according to strict harmonic rules of his own devising (developed out of an idiosyncratic interpretation of musical acoustics) that, while sounding firmly tonal, wends its way through musical hierarchies that are not exactly those of the time-honored, tonic-dominant system. In the 1920s Hindemith attached the term Kammermusik literally chamber music to a series of seven somewhat severe pieces, the first a modern-day concerto grosso for small orchestra, all the others concertos for solo instrument with a large chamber ensemble or small chamber orchestra. The Kleine Kammermusik (Little Chamber Music) of 1922 is a more inviting piece, a genial five-movement little suite that doesn t ask to be taken too seriously.

This edition includes the parts only with the score sold separately.
