Hindemith, whose interest in the viola was intense and lifelong, wrote a number of concertante works for the instrument which he often publicly performed himself and which greatly enriched the instrument's rather slender repertoire. Among the best known of these is Der Schwanendreher, a concerto which takes a number of folk songs as its point of departure.
The work was written on the heels of the composer's monumental, medieval-themed opera Mathis der Maler (1934-1935); it is thought, in fact, that Hindemith's research for that work led him to the songs employed in Der Schwanendreher. The title of the work is shared with that of the tune that forms the basis of the finale; the "Schwanendreher" in question is a "swan-turner," a cook's assistant who turns the spit upon which a swan is roasted. (In his nearly contemporaneous Carmina Burana (1935-1936), Carl Orff likewise bases an entire movement on the theme of roasting swans -- in this case, from the animal's point of view!)
Hindemith -- no slouch as a violist -- casts the soloist in the role of "an itinerant fiddler who...presents everything he has brought with him from afar: songs grave and gay, and finally a dance-tune." The composer further indicates that the player might well embellish and alter the tunes according to his own fancy, which similarly describes the way he incorporates the original folk tunes into the musical fabric. Der Schwanendreher, an amiable and vigorous work, is a product of Hindemith's mature neo-Classical style, marked by clearer tonality and less dense polyphony than that in his music of the previous decade.

I feel like this is a work made with love by a master of that instrument. There are some deeply felt and beautiful passages in this piece.

Sei la migliore!
Unbelievable!! Thank you so much for this! Now we have the big 3 viola concerti in the form of score-videos. You're helping a lot to increase the popularity of the viola (my instrument btw ;)) with this top quality videos of viola pieces.
Thanks again ;)
Aaaaaah so amazing!! It's pieces like these that make me feel lucky to play the viola!!

I played this... Quite hard but beautiful, Hindemith was a great composer..
A masterpiece for viola!
.. the maestra is called: the Queen of Viola .... here in this remarkable performance with the famous Bavarian Radio Symphony Munich, conducted by the unforgettable David Shallon, her husband, who suddenly died in 2000 on a Japan-concert-tour.... Thanks for posting with score... Listen also: Tabea Zimmermann/David Shallon in the Spanish CZcams-video (TVE) of Walton´s viola-concerto ... In 2006 Tabea Zimmermann was the dignified award-winner of the well-kown International Paul-Hindemith-Prize of the city of Hanau, where Hindemith was born.
Great piece and amazing video!!! Thank you for uploading this!

@@Qazwdx111 but she isn't a viola
@@KR-mm4el I know, violas aren't that fat ^-^
such an over-rated composer.
Do you even have ears
soda yes, them
Go back to listening Justin Bieber, his music is more suited to you.
Under-rated You Philistine!
....how though? This man was the 20th century Bach, and a master at his craft. I also would like to know, if you consider Hindemith overrated, what composers are not overrated? Personally i feel that most of Hindemiths repertoire has been overshadowed by his Symphonic Metamorphosis and as a result he has become underated. Take what i consider to be his most important work When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed for example. Seldom know about it and its one of the most important pieces of music ever written. I consider it on the same level as Brittens War Requiem.
It's too bad it really doesnt sound good
you just cant play it well noob
Do you have ears mate
Go back to listening Justin Bieber, his music is more suited to you.
Too bad your a moron.
Hindemith performs Hindemith not everyone who doesn’t enjoy this piece as much as you liKe JusTin beIbEr. I just would not prefer this over passacaglia...sorry to have damaged your superiority complex.
