Completed in 1939, it was widely performed during his lifetime but has since lost much of its popularity. This document will look at the biographical and historical influences surrounding this concerto, as well as stylistic characteristics that often help define Hindemith’s music. An analysis of the concerto will explore the formal and harmonic characteristics of the work. In addition, the document will explore how Hindemith’s theoretical concepts manifest themselves in the piece. Lastly, a discussion of the more practical challenges of the concerto will be included.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
