Why does hindemith’s tonality resonate so perfectly with me? His use of phrasing, melody, counterpoint, tone color/orchestration, and harmonic progression are just simply unmatched by his contemporaries. Its not a-tonal at all. Its perfectly tonal and everything connects beautifully. Ill be forever obsessed.
Who are these people who (according to you) maintain that Hindemith's music is atonal? I don't think they exist outside of your imagination. I have never read any writing about Hindemith that referred to his music as anything other than tonal.
@@DieFlabbergast There's a video on RUclips of Leonard Bernstein in 1964 telling a very large audience that it is said that Hindemith's music is atonal. Bernstein then gives a lecture to dispel that myth. And back in the '70s I also heard it said somewhere that Hindemith's music is atonal. So it has been a misconception out there.
If only Hans Zimmer would make use of Hindemith's harmonic language in his scores. It'd make me want to watch movies with his background music more than once.
@@yowzephyr it started with the Nazis. Joseph Goebbels blasted Hindemith as an "atonal noisemaker" and his personal dislike of Hindemith led to the composer constantly falling in and out of favor with the Nazi regime. (Hindemith had supporters, but Goebbels wielded a lot of power.)
Brain could bring out the intended beauty of every composition for or including horn. A truly outstanding talent which we lost at far too young an age to the hazards of motorism, the cult of the private automobile, in whose clutches we remain. Hindemith’s beauty is in its concise expression of the somber and anguished mood of this era.
Very nice composition. I was able to get through this in high school. I had the tone and power for this kind of writing, but lacked the speed and precision to play Mozart. Which is okay, because I much preferred (still do) romantic and modern composers. It sounded "jazzy" to my high school brain. Mozart is okay, but it sounds like a series of musical Lego blocks connected together. Regardless, the classical era is completely different from modern times. It's hard to be in the mindset where everything was run by royal families.
Phillip Holmes I actually liked your comment, even though I'm not yet sure if I agree (my wife DOES agree with you, especially about Mozart and Legos).I also liked your rebuttal. Since the photo was taken, the child has been freed and I was briefly incarcerated.
For some of us, it is tedious and tiresome to be caught in a milleu where sheer vulgarity IS the culture and where the world is run by lowest common denominator.

... aus den legendären LP-Aufnahmen mit Paul Hindemith als Dirigent und dem legendären Hornisten Dennis Brain.- Ein ausgesprochen schönes kurzes Werk.

Adrian Leverkuehn Where did I mention the 40th and 41st symphonies? Or the ruling elite? Don't put words in my mouth and put down that helpless child!

Adrian Leverkuehn Oh yeah, I forgot -- Dennis Brain is pretty cool.
Phillip Holmes Congratulations on tolerating Mozart, despite the fact that you lacked the skills to put his lego blocks together properly.
