🇩🇪Paul Hindemith ： Piano Music Part II Op.37-7

Hindemith’s Piano Music, Part II, Op. 37-7 is a miniature that calls for clarity in the interaction of independent voices and rhythmic patterns, rather than relying solely on lyrical melody. Its points of interest include the way the lines progress within a texture that does not become overly dense, allowing their individual movement to be heard. In performance, instead of exaggerating dynamics, it is important to maintain a clear sense of pulse, shape the direction of each phrase, and bring out the inner voices to create a three-dimensional texture. Careful treatment of note values and rests, without rushing the smaller movements, conveys the work’s wit and tension.
