Reading: Burge: 99-102.
Music to listen to before class:
Paul Hindemith (1895-1963): Suite "1922"; Sonata #3 (1936); Ludus
Tonalis (1943): Prelude, first Fugue.
Observe Hindemith's move from avant-garde atonality
and
dissonance in "1922" more tonal and classical sounding Third Sonata.
How might a piece like "1922" relate to the music of Milhaud or
Stravinsky in this period?
Also note Hindemith's interest in the fugue, as evidenced in both the
Sonata and Ludus Tonalis.
