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? |

I've played Der Schwanendreher and I learnt the first and second movements of the Sonata in F op 11 no 4 for my diploma (but I eventually played something else in the exam as the piano accompaniment is very difficult, and I was too worried about being able to find someone to accompany me ).
I found that the more I played the sonata the more I enjoyed it, but it was a bit of a challenge. I think it was harder than I expected from my first impressions. There is a bit with a non-standard key signature which took some getting used to. Good luck with the Kammermusik No.5 |
