Concluding Remarks 52 Bibliography 57 ii Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 ABSTRACT Through the work in his book and dissertation, David Neumeyer has established an authoritative methodology specifically intended for rigorous analysis of the music of Paul Hindemith. His work, however, explicitly proscribes the search for “tonal cognates” as they make “too many assumptions about the music.” And while this may have been the case in the literature preceding Neumeyer, such as Hans Redlich claiming a melody is in “D minor”, the abstract concepts surrounding the tonal cognates are no longer considered inextricably linked to the pitch material. This recent development is most evident in Tymoczko’s book A Geometry of Music in which he distinguishes scale, macroharmony, and centricity as wholly independent concepts. Most importantly, this approach flips the issue on its head by considering the diatonic scale as an abstract collection of pitches that forms an independent musical object, rather than a fundamentally tonal cognate. With that said, it is challenging to account for the specific pitch level of collections with traditional set-class analysis which is more focused on comparisons of prime forms. In this presentation, I will show how accounting for the specific pitch level of collections and relating them to centricity can descriptively inform analysis of Paul Hindemith through select works. iii Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 LIST OF TABLES 3.1, “Pastorale Interlude” pitch and voice leading content 18 3.2, Diatonic collections as they relate to Neumeyer’s Stage I graph 22 3.3, Abstract structural pitches derived from a strict “Dorian” interpretation 23 4.1, “Geburt Mariä” B section, pitch and voice leading content 33 4.2, Relationships of structural pitch and macroharmony 37 4.3, “Geburt Mariä” summary of collections in piano right hand mm. 21-32 41 iv Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 LIST OF FIGURES 2.1, Craft Series 1, strength of relationship to tonic C, decreasing left to right 11 2.2, Craft Series 2, harmonic force of vertical intervals, decreasing left to right 11 2.3, Scale and macroharmony are the same in the first line, but not in the second 13 3.1, Succession of diatonic collections in “Pastorale Interlude” 19 3.2, “Pastorale Interlude” mm. 5-9 20 3.3, Neumeyer’s Stage I analysis 22 3.4, Abstract structural pitches derived through macroharmonic analysis 23 3.5, Neumeyer’s Stage II Analysis of the “Pastorale Interlude” 25 3.6, Revised Stage II Analysis of the “Pastorale Interlude” 26 3.7, “Pastorale Interlude” full score 28 4.1, “Geburt Mariä” mm. 7-20; G-major collection 31 4.2, “Geburt Mariä” mm. 78-95; G-major collection 32 4.3, “Geburt Mariä” mm. 44-49 Ab collection (8-23) 34 4.4, “Geburt Mariä” mm. 50-55; tertian chords in contrast with preceding music 35 4.5, Subject of “Fuga undecima in B” 36 4.6, Stage IV reduction of “Geburt Maria” B section 37 4.7, Voice-leading models between sets of differing cardinalities 38 4.8, “Geburt Mariä” Soprano mm. 21-36 39 4.9, “Geburt Mariä” piano left hand mm. 21-33; Octatonic bassline with vertical 40 tertian sonorities 4.10, “Geburt Mariä” Piano right hand mm. 21-32 41 v Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 5.1, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Tuba mm. 1-4, P1 44 5.2, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Piano mm. 18-21, P2 44 5.3, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Piano mm. 24-28, P3 44 5.4, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Piano mm. 28-30, S1 45 5.5, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Piano mm. 32-34, S2 45 5.6, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Piano mm. 39-41, S3 45 5.7, P1 with accompaniment mm. 1-4, demonstrating full sounding macroharmony 47 5.8, Sonate für Basstuba und Klavier, Stage I analysis 50 vi Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The present research project is a collection of analyses of Hindemith’s music drawn from the later portion of the composer’s career: 1942-1955. While there is currently a well-established theoretical body of works regarding analysis of Hindemith’s music in David Neumeyer’s writings—which will be covered in detail below—it is nearing thirty years since its publication. As impressive and descriptive as these works may be, the scholarly realm has since developed new perspectives and analytic tools in the burgeoning field of neo-Riemannian theory that simply could not have been accounted for at the time of Neumeyer’s writing. In this paper, I will approach selected compositions of Paul Hindemith using a methodology derived from the structural and reductive theories of David Neumeyer, combined with a focus on macroharmony and centricity, as most fully articulated by Dmitri Tymoczko in A Geometry of Music.1,2 The shadow cast by contrasting the analytic results of these two systems will both bring light to specific facets of each theoretical system as well as enable a new frame of reference on the compositions in question. Paul Hindemith’s aversion to the analysis of his work explains in no small part the relative lack of in-depth analysis of his works. The majority of literature on Hindemith’s music approaches it from an almost purely historical tradition by relying on off-hand generalizations about his music or on vague statements borrowed from other writers. Most of this literature then uses this critical approach as substantial evidence in an 1 David Neumeyer, The Music of Paul Hindemith (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1986). 2 Dmitri Tymoczko, A Geometry of Music (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011). Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 attempt to force the composer and his works into either camp of the highly polemical tonal-atonal critical dichotomy characteristic of the early to mid twentieth-century. There are two notable exceptions to this trend in this literature: David Neumeyer’s near encyclopedic theory-building and analysis project centered on Hindemith’s compositional style, and Victor Landau’s article “Paul Hindemith, a Case Study in Theory and Practice,” which combines the comparative analyses found in Hindemith’s The Craft of Musical Composition (hereafter Craft) with Hindemith’s own music. To be sure, there has been considerable literature specifically addressing Craft, such as Norman Cazden’s and Otto Ortmann’s works.3,4 However, these works only take into account Hindemith’s theoretical writings without comparison to or analyses of his works. Although the present research is focused on the application of analytical tools developed after Hindemith’s death, it would be ill-advised to undertake analysis of Hindemith’s music without some direct consideration of the composer’s own writings. Hindemith created Craft as a way consolidate his own theories into a pedagogical framework for students and teachers of composition alike. Intended to be a series of four books, only the first three were completed and published; the third has not yet been translated to English, and very little written material exists that was intended for the fourth. The first book is subtitled Theoretical Part while the second and third books are explicitly exercises for two and three part writing respectively. Here, I will focus primarily on the first book as it is significantly richer for the present ontological pursuits while the later books function more as practical workbooks in comparison. 3 Norman Cazden, “Hindemith and Nature,” Music Review 15, no. 4 (Nov. 1954): 288-306. 4 Otto Ortmann, “An Analysis of Paul Hindemith’s ‘Unterweisung im Tonsatz’,” Bulletin of the American Musicological Society, no. 4 (Sep., 1940): 26-28. 2 Texas Tech University, Andrew Eason, May 2014 Even a cursory glance of the table of contents will give the sense of the composer’s strong philosophical rejection of the atonal movement. The inclusion of keywords like “overtones”, “nature” or “natural”, “triad”, “Scale-Formation”, and “Value of the Intervals,”5 and quotes from Johann Joseph Fux to start the introduction show a deliberate preference towards conservative musical values. The book starts with this discussion of the overtone series through practical demonstrations based on the monochord, violin harmonics, trumpet and flute. Then Hindemith creates a tempered tuning system for the chromatic scale derived through insights gleaned from his discussion of the overtone series. Continuing this acoustic investigation, he creates a system of interval and chord root based in combination and difference tones. It is clear from this acoustic derivation of a theoretical system that Hindemith’s concept of dissonance is not merely an abstract notion influencing compositional treatment of specific pitches but is seen as inherent in acoustic relationships between pitches. The primary article of Victor Landau’s on which I will focus, “Paul Hindemith, a Case Study in Theory and Practice,” selects a number of rules from Hindemith’s pedagogy outlined in Craft that can be identified as followed or violated, and that aren’t abandoned as the student progresses, as are first-species counterpoint rules.

Wandlungen in Paul Hindemiths Bach-Verständnis Welches theoretische Modell man auch immer für den Gegenstand einer "Wirkungs-" oder "Rezeptionsgeschichte" bevorzugt - man kann, um grob zu kontrastieren, entweder von der Vielgestaltigkeit eines OEuvres ausgehen, dessen geistig-künstlerische Potenz auf Zeit- genossenschaft und Nachwelt "wirkt", oder aber von der Mannigfaltigkeit der Konkreti- sierungen, in denen Mit- und Nachwelt ein OEuvre "rezipiert" - , in jedem Fall darf man dem \~erk Johann Sebastian Bachs seit dem 19. Jahrhundert den Status der Klassizität beimessen, später gar - so meine ich - den einer Universalität, die von der Musik keines anderen Komponisten übertroffen oder auch nur erreicht worden ist. Dies gilt auch für die erste Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts, in kompositionsgeschichtlicher Hinsicht für diesen Zeitraum sogar ganz besonders, überdauerte doch Bach als einziger Klassiker die musikhistorische Epochenzäsur um 1920 in ungeschmälertem Maße, indem er für Roman- tik und Moderne vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg ebenso wie danach für beide Richtungen des Neoklassizismus, für die neotonale Strawinskys und Hindemiths nicht minder als für die dodekaphone der Schönberg-Schule, von freilich verschiedenartiger, stets wieder erneu- erter Bedeutung war und blieb.

  • Further Considerations of the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker's Five Interruption Models
    Further Considerations of the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker's Five Interruption Models By: Irna Priore ―Further Considerations about the Continuous ^5 with an Introduction and Explanation of Schenker’s Five Interruption Models.‖ Indiana Theory Review, Volume 25, Spring-Fall 2004 (spring 2007). Made available courtesy of Indiana University School of Music: http://www.music.indiana.edu/ *** Note: Figures may be missing from this format of the document Article: Schenker’s works span about thirty years, from his early performance editions in the first decade of the twentieth century to Free Composition in 1935.1 Nevertheless, the focus of modern scholarship has most often been on the ideas contained in this last work. Although Free Composition is indeed a monumental accomplishment, Schenker's early ideas are insightful and merit further study. Not everything in these early essays was incorporated into Free Composition and some ideas that appear in their final form in Free Composition can be traced back to his previous writings. This is the case with the discussion of interruption, a term coined only in Free Composition. After the idea of the chord of nature and its unfolding, interruption is probably the most important concept in Free Composition. In this work Schenker studied the implications of melodic descent, referring to the momentary pause of this descent prior to the achievement of tonal closure as interruption. In his earlier works he focused more on the continuity of the line itself rather than its tonal closure, and used the notion of melodic line or melodic continuity to address long-range connections.

  • Wadsworth, Directional Tonality in Schumann's
    Volume 18, Number 4, December 2012 Copyright © 2012 Society for Music Theory Directional Tonality in Schumann’s Early Works* Benjamin K. Wadsworth NOTE: The examples for the (text-only) PDF version of this item are available online at: http://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.12.18.4/mto.12.18.4.wadsworth.php KEYWORDS: Schumann, monotonality, directional tonality, tonal pairing, double tonic complex, topic, expressive genre ABSTRACT: Beginning and ending a work in the same key, thereby suggesting a hierarchical structure, is a hallmark of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century practice. Occasionally, however, early nineteenth-century works begin and end in different, but equally plausible keys (directional tonality), thereby associating two or more keys in decentralized complexes. Franz Schubert’s works are sometimes interpreted as central to this practice, especially those that extend third relationships to larger, often chromatic cycles. Robert Schumann’s early directional-tonal works, however, have received less analytical scrutiny. In them, pairings are instead diatonic between two keys, which usually relate as relative major and minor, thereby allowing Schumann to both oppose and link dichotomous emotional states. These diatonic pairings tend to be vulnerable to monotonal influences, with the play between dual-tonal (equally structural) and monotonal contexts central to the compositional discourse. In this article, I adapt Schenkerian theory (especially the modifications of Deborah Stein and Harald Krebs) to directional-tonal structures, enumerate different blendings of monotonal and directional-tonal states, and demonstrate structural play in both single- and multiple-movement contexts. Received July 2012 [1] In the “high tonal” style of 1700–1900, most works begin and end in the same key (“monotonality”), thereby suggesting a hierarchy of chords and tones directed towards that tonic.

  • On Some Peculiarities of Musical Dramaturgy
    NOTES ON MUSICAL DRAMATURGY IN CHOPIN’S SECOND PIANO SONATA (an analytic sketch) Boris Plotnikov The idea of musical dramaturgy seems clear to everybody. The term is widely used in mu- sicology to characterize the flow of musical events in the texture of great works of music. It opens a way to construct bridges leading to extra-musical fields of association. However there is no firm unilateral definition for it, in a way as triads, sixth chords and many other items of the “flesh” of music are defined in textbooks. Its nature remains rather metaphorical than techni- cal.. A century ago, Heinrich Schenker wrote: “For what is the fundamental purpose of the turns and tricks of the cyclical form? To represent the destiny, the real personal fate, of a motif or of several motifs simultaneously. The sonata represents the motifs in ever changing situations in which their characters are revealed, just as human beings are represented in a drama… the motif lives through its fate, like a personage in a drama”.1 Thirty years later, explaining the phenomenon of fundamental line he offered another metaphor inherently related to the first one: “Since it is a melodic succession of definite steps of a second, the fundamental line signifies motion, striving toward a goal, and ultimately the com- pletion of the course. In this sense we perceive our own life impulse in the motion of the funda- mental line, a full analogy to our inner life”.2 Two great theoreticians simultaneously elaborated on the idea of musical process as a temporal phenomenon.

  • Akü Amader / Sayi 9 109 Paul Hindemith “Editöre Mektup
    AKÜ AMADER / SAYI 9 PAUL HINDEMITH “EDİTÖRE MEKTUP” Paul Hindemith “Letter to the Editor” Willi Reich Çeviren: Bertan Rona DOI NO: 10.5578/amrj.67900 Bertan RONA1 Özet Willi Reich, Paul Hindemith üzerine yazdığı bu makaleye, onun bir müzik insanı olarak aldığı pozisyonu, dönemin toplumsal yapısı ve sanat akımları bağlamında irdeleyerek başlıyor ve besteciyi, Yeni Realizm akımının lideri olarak tanımlıyor. Ardından Hindemith’in kariyerindeki başlıca dönüm noktalarını belirtip, o güne kadar yazmış olduğu önemli yapıtları ana hatlarıyla ele alıyor. Hindemith’in düşüncelerini bizzat yazdığı manifestolardan alıntılarla ortaya koyan Reich, son olarak bestecinin çeşitli yapıtlarından alınmış nota örneklerine yer verdiği daha teknik nitelikte belirlemelerde bulunuyor ve Bruno Stürmer’in Hindemith’e yazdığı açık mektubunu alıntılayıp, özet niteliğindeki kendi değerlendirmesiyle makalesini sonlandırıyor. Reich, Türkçeye çevirisini yaptığımız bu makalesini 1931 yılında yazmıştır. Demek oluyor ki makalenin yazıldığı tarihte Hindemith sadece otuz altı yaşındadır. Gerçi en önemli yapıtlarının bir kısmını vererek müzik tekniği ile üslubunu ortaya koymuş, ayrıca toplum ile ilişkisi bağlamında müzik sanatına dair felsefi yaklaşımını açık biçimde sergilemiştir. Ancak daha ölümüne otuz iki yıl gibi bestecilik açısından oldukça uzun bir sürenin bulunduğu düşünülecek olursa, Reich’ın, makalesini bugünküne göre oldukça sınırlı verilerle yazmış olduğu anlaşılacaktır.
