Kammermusik No.1 (Study score)

Beschrijving

The chamber music works are among Hindemith's most successful instrumental works of the 1920s. At the world premiere of 'Chamber Music No. 1', the audience even demanded a repetition of the third and fourth movements. But the title of the series of works consisting of seven compositions altogether is misleading: The individual pieces rather have concertante soloistic features. No. 1 is characterised by 'instruments', like a can filled with sand and a siren, as well as the rich use of percussion. The scores are based on Vol. VI/1 (PHA 401) of the Hindemith Complete Edition, edited by Giselher Schubert.
