Sonata for Tuba and Piano (Hindemith)
Movements
i Allegro pesante ii Allegro assai iii Variationen
Notes
Composed in 1955, the Sonata for bass tuba and piano is the last in Hindemith’s series of ten sonatas for wind instruments. As in his Sonata for Double Bass and Piano, Hindemith “compensates for the weight of the instrument by giving the piano a part animated with unusual humour and harmonic interest”.
