Dr. Gianopoulos, MANY THANKS - I've been incredibly eager to see the score to this beautiful and sadly unfamiliar work. I've quickly learned two things. One is that the pedal changes are frequent, which takes the piece out of the hands of amateurs. Second, the earnest attitude of the work, perhaps even a bit naive, is often achieved with surprising rhythmic sophistication. What an incredible contribution from you, from Hindemith, and from Madame Englichova the performer!
Not the best choice of words... I was trying to convey that rather than an ostentatious razzle-dazzle of shifting meters and such (as in Stravinsky, Bartok, Messiaen) we get rhythmic finesse with comparatively simple means, as in Gregorian chant and in works inspired by it. Clearly I'm by not the only listener on UA-cam charmed by this score, and it gives me a lift when I learn of other music lovers responding as I do.
@@Mezzotenor I understand you. I rechecked the definition of naïve and was surprised to see that it can be used in a non-derogatory sense. I guess that makes me a naïf. I withdraw my earlier comment. Thanks for your lucid commentary. ✌
@@josephalvarez5315 😮💨 If you think that's modern take listen to Shoeberg. I think this is more like Post-romanticism. And Paul Hindemith was very much against modern art, atleast pre ww2
@@porkyminch5131 I meant modern like living composers, not modern like died in 1951. This reminds me of the music of composers like Takeshi yoshimatsu, or the breath of the wild sound track.

This is really one of the most beautiful and freshest works Hindemith has ever composed.

Wonderful memories of when I played this in 1977 for my senior recital at CCM, University.of Cincinnati. Many thanks.
