Paul Hindemith

Chamber Music No. 2 Op. 36/1

Paul Hindemith’s masterful "Kammermusik No. 2, Op. 36/1" – also known as his virtuosic Piano Concerto – stands as a brilliant highlight of 20th-century modernism. Brimming with boundless rhythmic drive, neo-baroque vitality, and fascinating counterpoint, this piece presents an exhilarating challenge for both the solo pianist and the chamber ensemble. The rich instrumentation pairs the obbligato piano with 12 soloistic instruments: flute (piccolo), oboe, clarinet in B-flat, bass clarinet, bassoon, horn in F, trumpet in C, trombone, violin, viola, cello, and double bass. This premium study score from Schott Music offers musicians, students, and conductors the perfect insight into Hindemith's visionary compositional architecture. An indispensable study score for any sophisticated music library!
