HINDEMITH, PAUL. (1895-1963). German composer and one of the outstanding figures in 20th-century music theory and composition. AMusQS. ("Paul Hindemith"). 1p. 8vo. Maehrisch-Ostrau, November, 1931. A three-measure quotation from the solo viola's entrance in the first movement of his Konzertmusik for Viola and Large Chamber Orchestra, Op. 48 inscribed in German "in friendly remembrance."
Hindemith performed frequently as a violist and violinist, but by the mid-1920s he was well-known in the Frankfurt music scene for his compositional skills, well on his way to becoming the leading composer-performer of his generation. Rejecting Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone system, Hindemith created his own harmonic theory, which employed the principles of traditional tonality. His masterworks include Kammermusik, Symphonic Metamorphoses on a Theme by Weber, Sinfonia Serena, and Die Harmonie der Welt. Composed in 1930, Hindemith's Konzertmusik, dedicated to French composer Darius Milhaud and his wife, was performed on November 6, 1931 in the Czech city of Ostrau, the occasion on which he penned our quotation.
Called "the foremost German composer of his generation," Hindemith promoted his musical theories through various academic posts as well as his compositions, (The New Grove Dictionary). After the Nazis banned his opera Mathis der Maler in the early 1930s, Hindemith left his post as professor of composition at the Berlin Academy of Music and taught at several other European universities. Politics and financial difficulties eventually led him to Yale where he taught from 1940 to 1953.Neatly penned in black ink on an album page. with some age toning and light staining. Irregular left edge caused by the page being removed from an album. Very slight ink offsetting around the quotation; otherwise in fine condition. Accompanied by a reproduction of the program in Ostrau where this piece was performed.

A manuscript for an unpublished book of poems by Oz author Ruth Plumly Thompson, probably submitted to Volland for publication, but ultimately not produced. The title sheet appears to be a carbon, while all the other sheets appear to be the original typescripts. A series of charming poems about various toy wooden animals that the author has encountered over the course of her life, with delightful anecdotes and even a few poems about wooden objects that aren't animals, like "An Old Broomstick."… Read More

Randall Thompson is probably best-known among choristers. His "Alleluia" for a cappella chorus has extraordinary popularity and is performed often. Unlike Handel's Hallelujah, Thompson's is quiet and expansive, evoking solemn contemplation.
"The Wind in the Willows" for string quartet was composed in the second year of Thompson's residence at the American Academy in Rome. The three movements were written in February and March and the quartet was premiered by the Quartetto Veneziano on March 15, 1925.
The string quartet is complete in three movements: I = River bank, 2 = Toad, Esq., 3 = The Wild Wood. In notes for a performance at the Boston Public Library by the Musical Arts… Read More
