Hindemith

Japanese: ヒンデミット
Hindemith
German composer. He showed precocious talent from an early age, and entered the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt at the age of 14. He worked as concertmaster at the Frankfurt Opera House and as viola player in the Amar Hindemith String Quartet, which he formed himself, while also gaining fame as a composer, and in 1927 he became professor of composition at the Berlin Higher Music School. He broke with the aesthetics of late romanticism, and was the vanguard of the anti-R. Wagner movement among German composers. His style of composition was called Neue Sachlicht, and also influenced the performing world. In the 1930s, he became a target of the Nazi cultural policy, and the premiere of his opera Matisse der Maler (1934-1935), which was based on the theme of Grünewald and dealt with the relationship between artists and society, was banned by the Nazi government (premiered in Zurich in 1938). He later fled to the United States via Switzerland, and lived in Switzerland from 1953 onwards. His compositions span a wide range of genres, and his representative works include the Kammermusik (chamber music) series (1921-1927), the song cycle Die Von Maria (1923) by Rilke, the oratorio The Infinite (1931), the symphony Matisse the Painter (1934, premiered the same year under the baton of Furtwängler), the ballet music Noble Fantasies (1938, revised in 1939) commissioned by Maschin, and the orchestral work Symphonic Metamorphoses on Themes by Weber (1943). In 1956, he came to Japan as the conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. → Walton → Related articles Koussevitzky | Klemperer | Brain
