We owe it to Paul Hindemith's interest in education, which, in turn, was owed not only to the professional musicians and composers, that he composed for children and amateur musicians as well. Dame Music stands for this dialogue to make contemporary music for amateurs accessible not only in theory but also in practice. Dame Music was composed during his stay in the USA after he had been asked for an American edition of his composition Frau Musica. Musik zum Singen und Spielen auf Instrumenten nach einem Text von Luther, Op. 45 No. 1 from 1928. In 1942 he wrote the successful American version Dame Music for which Hindemith also revised some instrumental parts. The vocal setting was adopted without any changes and its text translated into English. With great success: Within just a few years, Dame Music had been included in the repertoire of amateur musicians in the United States.

Thanks to his multifaceted skills, Philipp Carl Hoffmann was able to accomplish something special at very different levels: He not only was a brilliant pianist and violist as well as a successful composer, but also found recognition as a scientist and went down in literature as a highly sensitive teacher. As a musician, he met some of the greatest composers of his time, Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and witnessed the sale of Mozart's handwritten estate by his widow. Apart from that, he maintained friendly relations with Friedrich Theodor von Schubert, one of the most renowned astronomers in the early 19th century, and gained detailed insight into perhaps the most important period of fortepiano building in Vienna. Last but not least, we get to know him as a strong personality and a very helpful and warm-hearted person. GERMAN TEXT.

The advent of electronics opened up new potentials for concepts concerning musical instruments, changing long-established perspectives and revolutionizing some centuries-old traditions. Over the last decades, those instruments gained in importance in science and turned into sought-after objects of museum collections. This volume takes up current research topics and deals with the following questions: What musical and creative capabilities were opened up and in which new ways were these made accessible to artists? How did composers and musicians react to newly emerging questions of instrumentality and virtuosity? Next to those aspects,this volume especially addresses perspectives and challenges of collection related tasks concerning this group of musical instruments. New and rather ephemeral materials of industrially shaped ways of production demand customised prerequisites for long-term preservation as well as presentation in exhibitions. Klang und Begriff is a publication series commissioned by the Staatliches Institut fur Musikforschung PK, Berlin. The topics of this series are oriented towards the tonal-auditory manifestation of composed music, which is explored analytically by today's available means of music theory, organology and music technology.

The work of Paul Hindemith is encyclopedic in nature. From the outset, he worked in all musical genres and devised several of his musical ideas and projects not as individual, self-contained works but as work cycles with different functional relationships. These contrasting pieces complement each other if experienced as part of the overall structure. Hindemith himself not only wanted a complete edition of his collected works but had begun planning it; at his death he left a detailed list of ‚Unpublished pieces for an eventual complete edition‘.The Complete Works contain all finished works in all extant versions, newly engraved for the edition. Sketches and fragments are published in appendices of the relevant volume, and are evaluated in the Introduction and Critical Commentary by the respective volume editor.Each volume contains a preface by the editorial directors and an introduction by the volume editor, delineating the genesis and performance history of the work, with authentic performance instructions, an evaluation of extant recordings by Paul Hindemith himself and a Critical Commentary.The Complete Works of Paul Hindemith are thus presented in a critical, scholarly edition which is equally appropriate for study and performance. Hindemith researchers will welcome the numerous first publications of works by the composer, and practical musicians will appreciate the newly prepared, philologically ordered performance material.
