🇩🇪Paul Hindemith ： Ludus Tonalis Interlude Fast

Included in Ludus Tonalis, this interlude is marked by a strong sense of speed. Built around contrapuntal writing, it moves forward as multiple voices intersect. Even within its rapid motion, clarity that allows each individual line to be heard is essential, while the interplay between voices and the placement of accents generate momentum. In performance, the fingers should not simply be hurried; it is important to preserve the underlying pulse and maintain clear, consistent note values and articulation. By balancing the volume of each voice, bringing the leading line to the fore, and retaining a lightness without making the texture too hard or heavy, the work’s wit and kinetic energy can emerge.
