Paul Hindemith - Lustige Sinfonietta - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In his early years, Hindemith confides that he adores Christian Morgenstern's poems, Inchperhaps because he is as crazy as I am, or vice versa.Inch In his InchLustige SinfoniettaInch Hindemith refers more to the atmosphere of Morgenstern, and in no case does he trace the single poems literally in music. Grotesque musical results arise from an intended discrepancy between the sovereignly mastered musical devices and the expressive content of the music.InchRag Time (well-tempered)Inch is the first work in which a stylized piece of InchpopularInch modern dance music was directly related to the music of Bach. Bach was here rediscovered as a composer of InchfunctionalInch music, and Hindemith was only too aware of this rediscovery InchDo you think Bach is turning in his grave? He wouldn't think of it! If Bach were alive today, perhaps he would invent the shimmy or at least take it over into respectable music. Perhaps he might even also take a theme from the 'Well-tempered Klavier' by a composer who might be to him what Bach is to us.InchFirst Recording. Album Tracks 1.
