Title Studies in Counterpoint, Tonal Organisation & Piano Playing Composer Hindemith, Paul: I-Catalogue Number I-Cat. "As a violinist, violist, pianist and percussionist I have thoroughly cultivated the following musical fields: chamber music of all kinds, cinema music, coffee house music, dance music, operetta, jazz band, and military music. Paul Hindemith, Joachim Dorfmüller: Ludus tonalis Buying sheet music and downloads from Schott Music. He also wrote three piano sonatas, several other piano pieces for two or four hands, and sonatas with piano for almost every instrument of the orchestra. The most direct application of this theory is the large piano work Ludus Tonalis, containing 12 fugues with interludes - Hindemith´s response to Bach´s Das Wohltemperierte Clavier. He developed his own completely unique system for understanding and composing music, based on the ranking of intervals of the 12-tone scale according to how dissonant they are. Hindemith´s music draws on a wide variety of historical and contemporary styles. He organised music festivals, taught in Germany, USA and Turkey and later began a new career as conductor. He kept this practical approach to music all his life, performing on violin or viola as soloist or in various chamber ensembles. He also supplemented the family income with private teaching and by playing in taverns and cinemas. He studied violin in Frankfurt, and after his father´s death in 1915 joined the orchestra of the Frankfurt Opera. In her interpretation, one can clearly hear Bach inspirations, and the album is complemented by a bonus – the Sarabande from the French Suite, as a reference point.Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) was the most important German composer in the inter-war years. It also inspired Agnieszka Panasiuk, a graduate of the London Royal Academy of Music, finalist of the Delius Prize competition. The piece is unique in terms or piano music, intriguing and inspiring performers since its inception. In turn, the cycles share the strict approach to the form of fugue, while the way of shaping the preludes/interludes (which take various forms) is free – in Hindemith’s case, apart from preludes, toccatas and fantasies, there are also such forms as siciliana, foxtrot, march or waltz. The piece directly refers to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Das Wohltemperierte Klavier, while the tradition of Baroque polyphony is combined with the 20th-century style and the composer’s individual musical language. Ludus tonalis were created during Paul Hindemith’s stay in Yale (USA), when his avant-garde period was already over back then, he was leaning towards Neo-Baroque aesthetics. On oublierait presque le propos ardu, sinon la complexité intellectuelle de l’ouvrage tant la fantaisie et même l’humour sont impeccablement traduits sous les doigts d’une interprète aussi inventive. Il Ludus Tonalis (dal latino: gioco tonale, gioco delle tonalità), sottotitolato Kontrapunktische, tonal, und Klaviertechnische Übungen (Esercizi contrappuntistici, tonali e di tecnica pianistica), è una composizione per pianoforte di Paul Hindemith. Agnieszka Panasiuk joue parfaitement de la multiplicité des atmosphères tout en préservant la plus grande lisibilité à des structures mobiles et miroitantes. Graciles, robustes, capricieuses voire presque désinvoltes, mais aussi rigoureuses, dansantes, sensuelles ou abstraites, ces pages doivent "vivre" avec une certaine liberté d’allure et plus encore un plaisir de la matière sonore, plaisir à chaque fois renouvelé. Fugues et interludes sont encadrés par un Prélude et un Postlude. Hindemith pensa son propre système tonal avec une suite de séries organisées en 25 morceaux. Il s’agit pourtant d’une "réponse" au Clavier bien tempéré de Bach comme le fut celle, quelques années plus tard, de Dimitri Chostakovitch avec le cycle des Préludes et Fugues. Cette œuvre magistrale et austère de presque une heure n’intéressa que tardivement les pianistes. C’est en 1943, au cours de son exil américain, que le compositeur allemand Paul Hindemith se lança dans la composition de ce « jeu de sons » (Ludus Tonalis) dont le sous-titre est explicite : "Etudes ou exercices contrapuntiques, tonaux et techniques pour le piano".
