🇩🇪Paul Hindemith ： In einer Nacht No.14 Finale Double Fugue

No. 14 from In einer Nacht is a double fugue placed as the finale of the collection. Two subjects overlap while retaining their individual motion, driving the music forward through the independence of the voices and their close dialogue. Highlights include the changing density created by the exchange and combination of the subjects, as well as the work’s overall sense of unity as a finale. In performance, it is important to bring out each vocal line clearly while maintaining the music as a single continuous flow. Listening carefully for each subject’s entrance, avoiding overly uniform accents and rhythms, and carefully controlling dynamics and pedal to prevent the sound from becoming blurred will reveal the contrapuntal structure and forward momentum.
