SIGNED: Douglas-Jayd Burn 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A document like this takes a village to prepare and it is not possible to thank everyone who has been a part of the process, but I would like to express my thanks to the following: I am sincerely grateful to my major professor Dr. John Milbauer. Throughout my doctoral studies, he has always inspired and guided me to a higher level of understanding and making music. I am also grateful to Dr. Lisa Zdechlik who has forever enhanced the way that I understand what it means to teach others as well as myself. Her guidance and support through the writing process of this document has been extensive and always pedagogical. A very special thanks to the rest of my committee for helping shape me as a pianist, conductor, and scholar: Professor Tannis Gibson, Dr. Thomas Cockrell, and Dr. Matthew Mugmon. This document would not have been possible without the help of Joshua Nichols who typeset most of the incipits and saved me countless hours as well as my sanity. Many thanks to Ms. Julie Johnson at the University of Arizona Poetry Center for her help in finding the anthologies of Hölderlin’s poetry. Many thanks to Dr. Heinz-Jürgen Winkler and the Hindemith Foundation for their gracious help with my research and for their permission to use the front page of the autograph copy of Piano Sonata no. 1 “Der Main.” I have been fortunate to have friends and colleagues that have been pillars and beacons in my life and my musical studies, and I am so appreciative for the lessons I have learned from them. Finally, it is to my parents I give the greatest thanks. They have been my greatest supporters, my greatest teachers, and my greatest inspiration. I cannot express enough thanks for all they have done to encourage and foster my music and my person, all with love. 5 DEDICATION For my Mother and Father.

  • Wandlungen in Paul Hindemiths Bach-Verständnis Welches
    BACH-BILDER IM 20. JAHRHUNDERT Hermann Danuser: DER KLASSIKER ALS JANUS? 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. Solch dauerhafte Geltung aber ist undenkbar ohne tief- greifendste Wandlungen in den Rezeptionsaspekten der Bachsehen Musik.

  • 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. Buna rağmen Reich, 1931 yılı itibarı ile meselenin özünü tespit ederek Hindemith üzerine doğru yargılarda bulunmakta son derece başarılı olmuştur. 1 Dr. Öğr.

Abstract: The piano cycle Ludus Tonalis by Paul Hindemith is much more than a "tonal play ", or a play with tones and tonalities. It is not even merely "playful" in the sense that it contains an almost complete array of keyboard techniques and performance colors, and in that the capturing characteristics of many of the fugues and interludes are suggestive of dramatic characters.

  • Hybridising the Schenkerian Method: a Selected Section of the First Movement of Paul Hindemith’S Piano Sonata No
    2018 © Yvonne Teo, Context 43 (2018): 29–46. Hybridising the Schenkerian Method: A Selected Section of the First Movement of Paul Hindemith’s Piano Sonata No. 1 as a Case Study Yvonne Teo This article considers two major theories, the Neo-Riemannian theory—commonly abbreviated as NRT—and the Schenkerian method, and proposes that a synthesis of them could provide useful insights into the analysis of Neo-Classical music, taking the Piano Sonata No. 1 Paul Hindemith (1895–1963) as a case study. Hindemith’s background harmonic structure in this work is primarily tonal, inviting the use of a theoretical model that might partake in large- scale melodic reduction, such as Schenkerian analysis. His foreground harmonies, however, are largely post-tonal, and this proves challenging if approached by traditional tonal harmonic analysis. Calculating voice-leading (VL) movement at the foreground level may assist in elucidating the composer’s harmonic language,1 revealing some components that are attenuated or marginalised in a Schenkerian analysis. This article appraises the two theories and examines existing research that has sought to integrate and synthesise them. This is followed by a short discussion detailing some brief approaches to analysis and its relationship to performance. Furthermore, as Hindemith was also a theorist, his The Craft of Musical Composition provides his thoughts on compositional 1 The foreground level of a Schenkerian analysis identifies the immediate melodic features and patterns and considers the deeper levels of structure.

  • Hindemith Paul
    HINDEMITH PAUL Compositore, direttore d'orchestra e teorico della musica tedesca (Hanau, Assia, 16 XII 1895 - Francoforte sul Meno 28 XII 1963) Iniziò ad undici anni regolari studi di musica: dal 1907 in poi, prese lezioni di violino da A. Hegneg. Dal 1909 al 1916 (ufficialmente fino al 1918), grazie a borse di studio, poté studiare violino, composizione, contrappunto, partitura e direzione d'orchestra al conservatorio di Francoforte sul Meno; i suoi maestri più noti furono A. Rebner (violino), A. Mendelssohn e B. Sekles (composizione e contrappunto). 1 Dal 1915 al 1923, con l'interruzione del servizio militare (1916-1918), fu maestro concertatore dell'orchestra dell'Opera di Francoforte sul Meno; fu 2º violino ed in seguito viola nel quartetto d'archi di A. Rebner. Negli anni successivi alla 1ª guerra mondiale Hindemith riscosse i primi successi come compositore: già dal 1917 erano stati pubblicati da Breitkopf & Hartel di Lipsia i 3 Pezzi per violoncello e pianoforte op. 8 e nel 1919 e 1920 furono eseguite per lo più a Francoforte le sue prime e più importanti opere di musica da camera (Primo quartetto per archi op. 10, Sonate op 11, n. 1, 2, 3 e 5). Il Primo quartetto per archi op. 10 divenne famoso grazie alle tournée effettuate dal quartetto Rebner, che favorirono i contatti del compositore con B. Schott's Sohne di Magonza che, da allora, fu la sua unica casa editrice. Nel 1921 Hindemith acquistò fama internazionale con la prima esecuzione del Secondo quartetto per archi op. 16, in seguito al festival musicale da camera di Donaueschingen, che era stato da poco fondato dal principe E.
