Neotonality baby!

I've always liked Paul Hindemith's Symphony in B Flat. There's something enchanting about it. The lyrical solos in the first movement. The surprisingly melodic atonality. The way the theme of movement one comes back at the end of the piece. Something comforting in the way that familiarity comes back right when you least expect it. I listen to it in moments when I need to keep a cool head. Like right now. There are impossible tasks, and then there's finding a Way to Alagadda. It's been done before, so...

Performed this 48 years ago and haven't listened to it since. I appreciate it more now than I did rehearsing it endlessly (or so it seemed).

I'm playing 1st trumpet on this! THIS HELPS SO MUCH!!! Hindemith loved writing outside the box with his voicings so this really helps make sense of my role in the ensemble at different sections. Thank you!

Played this my senior of high school, hated the it so much and thought it made no sense, then I did some research on the piece and actually appreciated it

Thank you so much for the score video! So many beautiful details to notice. :) This is the kind of piece that you can listen to indefinitely and still gain something new each time.

Well, the score says just B flat, so not necessarily need to be in Major... I wonder why the uploader entitled it 'Symphony in B flat Major'... the B flat is just a tonal centre...

I don't know if this is just laziness in naming the piece, or just a musical joke on hindemith's part. But all the movements end on a Bb major chord, therefore, the symphony is in "Bb major"

Lol, these movement titles. Sounds like hindemith....
the whole piece has ideas way below his mastering of technique, that is in total opposite. But also the same technique and texture all the time, it makes a poor use of the orchestra and sounds like obsessed on same thing. "ah , i will end with a fugue and should be ok as it always is". Like " please a Wiener Schnitzel and Bier, bitte".

Well, you're not the first to make such an observation. In a published review of the score when it was still hot off the presses, the American band director Richard Franko Goldman criticized the instrumentation for being cluttered, especially in the middle range. Hindemith did occasionally risk over-orchestrating, but then, that's a common German flaw: think Schumann, or Reger (an obvious influence) -- and this is nothing compared to, say, Henze or Zimmermann. But speaking of Reger, doesn't the peroration in the finale seem oddly reminscent of the endings of Reger's variation works for orchestra? Of course, a razor-sharp performance helps, and this one is a bit limp. Something like the old Fennell/Eastman performance for Mercury suits the music much better. As for Hindemith's own, they're oddly Brucknerian, which is . . . well, interesting, and hardly inappropriate (doesn't the third theme of the first movement sound like something a twentieth-century Bruckner would write?), but it's just not my favorite way to hear the work.
