I was named after a Hindemith work, Mathis der Maler, which my father loved at the time I was born. I have been listening to it since he passed away a couple of years ago. It's like he left me a little intangible inheritance that I plan to keep. Now there's something else to follow here, see where it takes me.
Nahre, you had me laughing with Fur Else! That is a very interesting piece of music. There are some underrated pieces of music that just like that. I am not trained in classical music, I tinker with it, but I get where you're coming from... it's like an obsession.
The moment you played the first notes of Fur Elise, I reached for my mouse, but you said "I'm kidding" just in time. That was funny; another reason to love you. Okay, back to the video...
my introduction to Hindemith was through his piano pieces " Ludus Tonalis" in BA level composition class - idiosyncratic yet accessible to my 1970s era virgin ears at the point in time- then our composition prof. led us into the sonic maelstrom of Xenakis, Pendereki, Stockhausen, Crumb, Riley, etc. - afterward, all I previously thought was "modern" like Stravinsky, Schoenberg (and Hindemith) seemed quaint afterward...
Hindemith is a cool neoclassical composer, and this melody is definitely distinct! It's really nice how the chromatic descent (reminiscent of Faure) is held back for a more held back approach. The embellishments feel appropriate too! I only know Ludus Tonalis as of now, so it looks to be a fun journey too.
A profesor at a small Music departamento in rural Colorado introduced us To Hindemuths Elementary Training For musicians fifty two years ago. i quit Music until starting to learn flute seven years ago And read or heard somewhere that Charlie Parker liked Hindemuth so i bought a book Of his flute peices - haven’t really tríes them yet but also bought a New copy Of Elementary Training, such a cool book, And what a wit . Thank You For this.
Great to hear you talking about Hindemith -- he's one I enjoy a lot, from Kleine Kammermusik to the "Neues vom Tage" overture to the "Mathis der Maler" symphony (and everything else in between.) :D
great discovery - intellectual but beautiful music as we find in modern composers like Michael Nyman, Phillip Glass. Well need to discover more of his works
Thank you great discovery. There are so many barely known classical masterpieces from the 20th century. Another beautiful melody is from Hindemith's Cello Concerto the 2nd movement's theme.
Studying composition in undergrad and grad school, Hindemith's second piano sonata is critical learning. My professor had me analyze that piece inside and out. It's a masterwork of form and harmony. Hindemith is an underrated composer overall.
I was not familiar with the nomenclature, but a good example of chromatic mediant in popular music is the first few measures of the intro in Paul McCartney’s Here, There, and Everywhere
Wow, such a strikingly gorgeous melody and such interesting harmonic progressions. Thankyou for this discovery! Hindemith is a composer I've heard of but neglected too long - I think some people might look at when he lived and expect the music to sound less tuneful than it is.
Dear Nahre, great stuff - Hindemith is a real genius to me, unfortunately almost forgotten and underrated today - and great analysis too! And all the best for your première, congratulations! Will you record it? I would like to listen to it!
@@NahreSol I know you might not know the answer to this, since you play real pianos. But, I thought I'd ask just in case. We're thinking about buying our 7-year-old daughter a digital piano. Would you have any recommendations? (Naturally, we'd want full scale and weighted keys.).
I'm thrilled to see that you've done a video on Hindemith. He was an amazing composer that has definitely been overlooked. I think it's partly because he doesn't have the polemic that surrounds his more infamous predecessors Schoenberg et al. Hindemith immediately saw the essential flaws in Schoenberg's new twelve tone system. He saw, as did others including Messiaen and even Alban Berg, that playing four or five notes from a tone row together and treating it as a chord was not a very coherent or accessible approach to harmony. It's almost as if Schoenberg broke music and became famous as a result of that but the people that came after him and tried to fix things never achieved the attention they deserve. That's not to say that I'm anti-Schoenberg. I think he was a brilliant composer but he's been massively overrated in his capacity as 'Inventor of the New Music'. If you look at the music from the last 100 years, including film music, jazz and popular, it has much more to do with what Hindemith was proposing than the oft-discussed methods of Schoenberg. .
it's not just the music but the listener too. what you find or associate with it is as important as the noises themselves. I love the fanciful laziness you point out 😃. Now where could my pipe be? 🚬 🐈
Is this instinct ... to compose this way ... or is this genius that results from study ... or study that precipitated from genius ... or genius that results from instinct? As an operatic soprano w/ a performance repertoire of over 50 arias by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Vivaldi and dozens of other composers, I want to know ... I'm also trained in German Lieder, French Art Songs, Spanish Folk Songs, etc., with a performance repertoire in ten languages - I've also written over 1,000 songs, composed over a dozen musicals and am now finishing my 14th opera ... so I would like to put my curiosity to rest ... on this topic.
Sometimes I feel I’m only one of three people in the world who prefer the register of the viola over the violin. I’m going to have to listen to more of Hindemith. Thanks!!!
Lovely lesson Nahre! Please consider it may confuse some viewers to see only chord names, then only Roman numerals in your analysis. Pls don't take this as a criticism to your expertise. Thank you
Sounds like the sort of tune one writes on a DAW,a collection of cool and interesting sets, which are then adjusted to better flow between relationships. Brilliant!
and that is why it is not popular ;) she jokingly mentioned fur elisa because it is a tune that has been listened to millions of times that has almost become boring.. but that one is an example of genius and not this piece..
Also, Happy Birthday to Hindemith today - November 16th (1895)!! 🎈🎂

You give me so much joy.
nahre's videos are some of the most engaging videos about music on youtube

Thank you!! If you have recommendations for underrated music, let me know!!
I love the viola and that's the first time I've heard that work. It's so beautiful.
The moment you played the first notes of Fur Elise, I reached for my mouse, but you said "I'm kidding" just in time. That was funny; another reason to love you. Okay, back to the video...
Oof! Glad I caught you back in time 😅
Viola gang! 🔥🤘🤘
☺️
Two Set Violin disliked this video.
What a lovey piece and video thanks for sharing! I
I've never really gotten on with Hindemith, but this piece was lovely. Thank you.
Its a beautiful piece of music.
00:06 you got me! 🤣
I love it how you explain tricks of intriguing art in such an understandable manner.
The Hindemith string sonatas are all full of such nice moments. The first couple violin sonatas are very accessible and not too tricky as well.
Such a good video and great to learn about a piece I don't know. Very clear and interesting explanation with some very insightful analysis.

Thanks for the awesome content and education!! I'll have to check out more of his music 😊
Thank you back!!
Hindemith is one of my favorite composers. The way he plays with tonality is really cool.
I agree!!
Lovely. Thank you for sharing!
Great job! This was fascinating! ❤❤😮
Thank you!!
Thanks for sharing this piece!
Here are some thoughts on how I was understanding this (using "< - -" for movement in 4ths and "
Great video. Very educational both on theory and the history of the composer. Very cool.
Thank you!! :))

"Music is meaningless noise unless it touches a receiving mind." - Paul Hindemith
I would listen to you teach about anything. Your channel is like a very neat and cozy house, and you, a very accommodating hostess ♥
I’m so glad this video popped up in my feed. I must hear more.
Great to hear you talking about Hindemith -- he's one I enjoy a lot, from Kleine Kammermusik to the "Neues vom Tage" overture to the "Mathis der Maler" symphony (and everything else in between.) :D
A toast to Paul Hindemith. Happy birthday and thank you for your musical gifts to humanity.
It reminds me of the music written by Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock. Thanks for sharing. I’ll check out more later.
Thank you!! Great comparisons... really interesting!

I've heard this piece before, can't remember when or where, but it sounds so familiar! Thanks for reminding me, it's really beautiful ;)
You got me with the fur elise xD

Yes!!
I love the way you make me want to learn piano. People have been trying to convince me for years LOL.
Honored to hear!!
@@NahreSol
Yay! Hindemith is a fav of mine. One of my darkhorse fav's along with Elgar.
Yes!! Great composers…
country music is ubiquitous ❤
Love Hindemith! I played one of his cello sonatas in college on my recital! ❤
Oh wow, yes!! His cello sonatas are super
Wow, such a strikingly gorgeous melody and such interesting harmonic progressions. Thankyou for this discovery!
Hindemith is a composer I've heard of but neglected too long - I think some people might look at when he lived and expect the music to sound less tuneful than it is.
Thank you back!!
thanks a lot! this piece was always in my head, never knowing what it was..
Thank you back!!
Dear Nahre, great stuff - Hindemith is a real genius to me, unfortunately almost forgotten and underrated today - and great analysis too! And all the best for your première, congratulations! Will you record it? I would like to listen to it!
Thanks so much for explaining this. Common Tone Modulation. Great piece of music. 😎🤓
Thank you back!!
Love Cromatic Mediants
Yes!!
I'm not kidding, I genuinely jumped to close the video as a reflex when I heard Fur Elise 😱
Am I a bad person?
.....Fur Elise! Good one Nahre!
Love the videos! I do have a question as I’m trying to get into composing! Could you also do this for Sub mediants as well?
Awesome analysis, Nahre! And Happy Birthday Paul Hindemith 🎈
Yes!! :)) And thank you!!
Sounds like a walk in the park.🙃 And when I heard the FM, A flat M and the BM played next to each other, it immediately reminded me of Star Wars.
😅

Funny you mention music scores, since it reminds me of Nuovo Cinema Paradiso by Morricone

Have you already thought to create classes online? I would like to study with you ❤
Just started to, and will add more to my website this coming season :)
@@NahreSolYay!
:D
Sometimes I feel I’m only one of three people in the world who prefer the register of the viola over the violin. I’m going to have to listen to more of Hindemith. Thanks!!!
Hindemith’s viola repertoire is a world into its own!!
❤️👏
Thank you!!
Akshually Ab to B is an augmented second.
Wooooo !!
❤
👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐🙏
Thank you!!
Lovely lesson Nahre! Please consider it may confuse some viewers to see only chord names, then only Roman numerals in your analysis. Pls don't take this as a criticism to your expertise. Thank you
I will keep that in mind! Thank you!!
Muito legal, . . .
Replace the viola with a trumpet and you're getting a nice jazz song
Great vid, comment for the algo. Will check out some Hindemith and try to use some chromatic mediants!
Thank you!! 😄
Sounds like the sort of tune one writes on a DAW,a collection of cool and interesting sets, which are then adjusted to better flow between relationships. Brilliant!
😄
I know the name but dont know his music. I will check him out.
Yay! Rare Hindemith appreciation post :)
Yes!! Hindemith :))
😮
I like the boring movie score!
🙃
Nahre, have you ever tried to play Radamés Gnatalli?
Not yet!!
Check out Hindemith's Bassoon Sonata, it's weird, but fun to play!
Will do!!
Saludos linda❤❤❤
Thank you!!
All a matter of taste, I know of melodies much more interesting and beautiful - all a matter of taste. Nice but doesn't blow me away.
Fair!
and that is why it is not popular ;) she jokingly mentioned fur elisa because it is a tune that has been listened to millions of times that has almost become boring.. but that one is an example of genius and not this piece..
Hey, For Elise is a great tune, and writing a great tune is NOT easy. Dude had hooks. 😀
I agree actually 😅😅😅
Nahre, I hear you are one too.
I have been endeavoring to show a "chromonic". ❤
Reference heavy music...
😊
I know Hindemith for his Heckelphone trio. Everyone does, right?
Of coooourse! 😉
😂
Is your grand piano overwhelming in that room?
A bit! Still trying to find the best way to handle the mics etc in the space
Hindesmith is genius but have you practiced guitar?
Für Elise🙄
Sorry, I had to tease that joke 😅
early gang wya
😊!!!!
You almost had me click off in the first ten seconds 💀💀💀
😂😇
First
First 🏆
Sounds bad tbh. Cheap interval tricks for those who didn't ever learn then write with Figured Bass.
Everyone has different tastes!! :)
@@NahreSol no.. it is objectively bad and it is no coincidence that nobody cared about it... unlike fur elise
😮
