Paul Hindemith - Sonate für Bratsche(Viola) Solo op. 25 No. 1 (1922)(with full score)

[@verybratsche9467]

ah yes i love playing at 600+ bpm thx hindemith keep up the great work

[@ninjacoughdrop]

He's kind enough to note that the tonal beauty is incidental. So, just play FAST.

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

@@ninjacoughdrop In this case, "Nebensache" is better translated as "secondary", as in not a priority.

[@withpianochannel]

Hindemith is not my favorite but I really appreciate his genius. His language is unique and it will last forever.

[@2rbzero]

Love this piece. Reminds me in many ways of Kodaly’s sonata for solo cello.

[@PentameronSV]

That tempo indication in the fourth movement tho

What means in english??

[@S.Lijmerd]

@@TopsAR Frantic tempo. Wild. Tone beauty is of lesser importance.

Thank you for posting!

Hindemith was probably too lazy to write down sixteenth notes in the fourth movement so he just used quarter notes and sped up the tempo

[@eawviolin]

I think the idea is, that with how common the meter changes are, quarter notes are just clearer to write than having sixteenth notes and having to constantly beam them differently.

At 10:15 did he insert a motif from one of the Bloch sonatas?? Sounds familiar.

[@juliusseizure591]

This was composed before

[@hannesheinz720]

Hindemith's intention was to perform these sonata without any vibrato!

[@dhowellbassist]

Why do you say that?

[@zalba5710]

I don’t know what his ‚intention’ was, but he certainly used a lot of vibrato and stuff himself recording that sonata.
