Originally published in the 1940s, Paul Hindemith's remarkable textbooks are still the outstanding works of their kind. In contrast to many musical textbooks written by academic musicians, these were produced by a man who could play every instrument of the orchestra, could compose a satisfying piece for almost every kind of ensemble, and who was one of the most stimulating teachers of his day. It is therefore not surprising that nearly forty years later these books should remain essential reading for the student and the professional musician.

„Schöpferische Kraft lässt sich nicht anerziehen, aber die Bereitschaft zum Empfang der göttlichen Gabe in Gestalt eines stets willigen und zu höchsten Leistungen fähigen Handwerks lässt sich erwerben.“ 1921 gehörte er zu den Mitbegründern der Donaueschinger Musiktage, 1927 war er bereits Professor für Komposition an der Berliner Hochschule für Musik: Paul Hindemith (1895–1963). Der einst als Bürgerschreck Verschriene fand in den 20er Jahren zur Neuen Sachlichkeit und gelangte schließlich zur Skepsis gegenüber einem als hemmungslos empfundenen Fortschrittsdenken der jungen Komponistengeneration. Sein spätes Ideal eines vorwiegend tonal gebundenen Satzes stieß seinerseits auf Ablehnung der musikalischen Avantgardebewegung. Ihr Theoretiker Theodor W. Adorno brandmarkte diese Entwicklung als „fatale Wendung zum Offiziellen“ und gab damit das Signal zu einer Jahrzehnte dauernden Isolation Hindemiths und seiner Musik. Ein veränderter Blick auf die Musikgeschichte lässt Hindemith heute den Rang eines führenden Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts, eines herausragenden Dirigenten, Pädagogen und Musikphilosophen einnehmen und eines der meistgespielten Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts.

Trade Paperback. 6" wide by 9" tall. A bright, shiny, clean, tight copy. The spine is square and flat with NO creases. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. NO underlining.

From the publisher: "This book offers a complete course in sight-reading, ear-training and notation, from the very beginnings to the most advanced stages." Profusely illustrated with musical examples. Bound in the original maroon and white pictorial wrappers. From the Preface: "This book seeks to provide exercises which -- if applied in the right way -- must infallibly supply such fundamental theoretical knowledge. It is by no means the first comprehensive attempt to discuss elementary material. It does not even pretend to present this material in an original form. Its content has been set forth and explained countless times before, and there are some excellent books on the subject in various languages. But in order to understand the best works in this field and to make the proper use of them, one must already be a fairly advanced musician. Such a musician will find in them a remarkably good survey of the basic material, but a beginner will hardly be in a position to digest the overwhelming mass and variety of facts and procedures, or to select what is useful for him. Moreover, the exercises given in such books (when any are given) are insufficient. There is, on the other hand, no lack of less comprehensive, more specialized works, full of exercises for the beginner. But here the difficulty is that those books that try to give general theoretical instruction are either antiquated, in opinion and approach, or insufficient for a professional's education; and in most cases their exercises seem to be made for the author's satisfaction and self-assertion rather than for the student's profit, or they are so dry that even the most docile user cannot see their relationship to living music. The book grew out of the demands of my classes in theory, and was written for the benefit of my students. Needless to say, then: all the examples have been tested thoroughly, and only those have been included that have proved their usefulness." . Second Edition, Revised. Softcover.
