Description
“In the 1930s, Paul Hindemith, then Germany’s foremost composer, found himself torn between three forces. The Nazi government demanded that he write music glorifying the Third Reich…friends and colleagues urged that he use his influence and speak up against the immorality of German politics, while his own deepest wish was to live exclusively for his art–to compose, perform and teach. In the midst of this dilemma, which eventually led to his emigration, Hindemith composed his opera Mathis der Maler.” -Siglind Bruhn [Introduction] This book was originally published by Pendragon Press in 1998.
