I'm nearly ready to start on a new piece. Something is drawing me towards Hindemith - and not one of his lyrical, melodic pieces either, oh no. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) The scary Kammermusik No 5.

The sheet music looks frightening in the same way that Moto Perpetuo does - there's no let-up. It's also completely covered in accidentals. Has anyone played this, or anything similar by Hindemith? What did you think of it? Did it end up being easier or harder than at first impression?

Good luck with 'Kammermusik No 5', viola-mad... I think most mortals would run a mile, but I reckon you should go for it.

What with my recent thread on Hindemith's Ludus Tonalis (in Diploma forum) there seems to be a Hindemith flavour in the air lately... his work is over-due for a revival.
