The moment you played the first notes of Fur Elise, I reached for my mouse, but you said "I'm kidding" just in time. That was funny; another reason to love you. Okay, back to the video...
What you described as chromatic mediant is one of my absolute favorite sounds in all of music!! A major chord 3 half steps or 4 half steps from another major chord makes such a pretty tension, like your ears are confused but also very pleased
I was named after a Hindemith work, Mathis der Maler, which my father loved at the time I was born. I have been listening to it since he passed away a couple of years ago. It's like he left me a little intangible inheritance that I plan to keep. Now there's something else to follow here, see where it takes me.
Wow, such a strikingly gorgeous melody and such interesting harmonic progressions. Thankyou for this discovery! Hindemith is a composer I've heard of but neglected too long - I think some people might look at when he lived and expect the music to sound less tuneful than it is.
great discovery - intellectual but beautiful music as we find in modern composers like Michael Nyman, Phillip Glass. Well need to discover more of his works
Hi Nahre! I actually have something I wanted to say based on your "Giving Up" video, but I really want you to be able to see what I have to say, so I'm just posting it here on your most recent video. In that video (most all of your videos!), I really appreciate the way you explained the types of musical elements, techniques and choices that you used in your performance, with text on the screen. I have had this impenetrable wall that I can't get past that keeps me from reaching confidence in my music composition journey. I tend to be so stuck wondering what exactly should I write, and experience so much stress from my own expectation for it to be something good and perfect, or a smart choice that I just haven't written anything in long time. From watching your performance and explanation, I saw your own demonstration of the flow state and how it embodies fun and simple creative bliss. It didn't matter what exactly it "should" have been. It was many things with many options and unique parts flowing together. I saw this as more like a "what if" scenario, like as imaginative as when one would play pretend as a child. I loved playing pretend and I always felt that it was the peak of my creativity. From watching your video I now have what's equal to an explosion of creative thoughts, like "what if I did this?!" and "what if this was used for this?", and I feel that my "pretend" thinking mind has just woken up from a long coma! What was missing for me was not being able to see the flow state that happens in composition, where everything pieces together but flows beautifully like water. I couldn't see it for myself because I am still teaching myself, and without seeing the artistic process while someone else has achieved this flow state, I felt like there was a massive veil or giant wall to get past. Or like I couldn't find the final piece to the puzzle I've been working so hard on. Perhaps I was just struggling with a learning curve, in-the-box thinking, and forgetting to just simply do what brings me joy and excitement when I play or hear sounds. I understand a great deal of music topics, have experience in ensembles, and I love to continuously study and I understand how composition functions, but I really have struggled to apply it all and create my own story. As if along the road I have forgotten that I'm pursuing this art simply because I just want to have fun and be imaginative and play pretend as an adult and express myself! So I wanted to thank you, and I really hope you see this comment because you gave me an epiphany and so much more motivation than I've had in a very long time. And all in just 2 minutes of the video! Sometimes it takes so long to find that answer you're looking for, but when you finally do it's surprising and relieving how simple and easy it was the whole time. And a lot of the time it comes from a special person you just happen to come across. By the way, I'm actually a brass player (French Horn, trumpet, and mellophone) but currently am teaching myself piano so I can compose with ease. Your channel is so educational, helpful, and best of all enjoyable, and I view it as a major benefit in the music community and you should be very proud of your accomplishments. You know you have a good teacher when you yourself are humbled to be the student. Cheers! 🎉
I was at a concert in Dortmund today and came up to you. I hope I didn't bother you too much. Thank you, your music is wonderful, especially the second part. By the way, I was born on the same day as Ravel - March 7th.
my introduction to Hindemith was through his piano pieces " Ludus Tonalis" in BA level composition class - idiosyncratic yet accessible to my 1970s era virgin ears at the point in time- then our composition prof. led us into the sonic maelstrom of Xenakis, Pendereki, Stockhausen, Crumb, Riley, etc. - afterward, all I previously thought was "modern" like Stravinsky, Schoenberg (and Hindemith) seemed quaint afterward...
Thank you so so much for sharing your knowledge about classical music! Knowledge is power but also it's such a pleasure to hear your analysis of such a gorgeous piece of music! I've never heard of chromatic mediant before.. but I'm totally fascinated! That sound is very unique and I love hearing how music was written back then. And it is really inspiring and I'm so glad it hasn't been forgotten. Thank you again :)
Hindemith is a cool neoclassical composer, and this melody is definitely distinct! It's really nice how the chromatic descent (reminiscent of Faure) is held back for a more held back approach. The embellishments feel appropriate too! I only know Ludus Tonalis as of now, so it looks to be a fun journey too.
You are really genius and you explain everything so well that even better than my university professor! BTW, I played the accomp part before, but really didn’t know that much!
I usually describe this as great harmony, great melody is reserved for something like viva la vida. You also spent most of the video talking about harmony.
Hi Nahre. I'm not as well versed in diverse composers as I'd like to be. When you spoke of, then played the Hindemith music, my mind jumped to Emily Dickinson as having similar quirks in turns of a phrase, pace, melody. I enjoy your shared music experiences and educational content.
Thank you great discovery. There are so many barely known classical masterpieces from the 20th century. Another beautiful melody is from Hindemith's Cello Concerto the 2nd movement's theme.
Don't know Hindemith well at all, though I have certainly heard of him! I LOVE those chord progressions! Trying to compose myself and actually currently trying to get a better understanding of harmony and modulations. This is beautiful and I would like to experiment with it! Thanks for the great exposition.
Congrats Nahre🎉🎉🎉super session, I wasn't aware of Hindemith it has an element of ubiquity to it ; that gives a familiarity of equals in spirit. Keep up the great work kind
OMG it's also one of my favorite pieces of ALL TIME! Hindemith has really amazing viola sonatas. Kim Kashkashian and Robert Levin have a great recording of this piece!
A profesor at a small Music departamento in rural Colorado introduced us To Hindemuths Elementary Training For musicians fifty two years ago. i quit Music until starting to learn flute seven years ago And read or heard somewhere that Charlie Parker liked Hindemuth so i bought a book Of his flute peices - haven’t really tríes them yet but also bought a New copy Of Elementary Training, such a cool book, And what a wit . Thank You For this.
Great to hear you talking about Hindemith -- he's one I enjoy a lot, from Kleine Kammermusik to the "Neues vom Tage" overture to the "Mathis der Maler" symphony (and everything else in between.) :D
It's great to find this kind of analysis on yt. Thank. I'm not really aware of PH, will listen. I used a chromatic mediant (Cmaj7 Ebmaj7) as a substitution in the opening turnaround of a song I wrote called Summer Love, without knowing it has a name. I like the sound, it has something quite open and contemporary about it. Almost sunny quality.
Studying composition in undergrad and grad school, Hindemith's second piano sonata is critical learning. My professor had me analyze that piece inside and out. It's a masterwork of form and harmony. Hindemith is an underrated composer overall.
I was not familiar with the nomenclature, but a good example of chromatic mediant in popular music is the first few measures of the intro in Paul McCartney’s Here, There, and Everywhere
Dear Nahre, great stuff - Hindemith is a real genius to me, unfortunately almost forgotten and underrated today - and great analysis too! And all the best for your première, congratulations! Will you record it? I would like to listen to it!
Sometimes I feel I’m only one of three people in the world who prefer the register of the viola over the violin. I’m going to have to listen to more of Hindemith. Thanks!!!
@@NahreSol I know you might not know the answer to this, since you play real pianos. But, I thought I'd ask just in case. We're thinking about buying our 7-year-old daughter a digital piano. Would you have any recommendations? (Naturally, we'd want full scale and weighted keys.).
Hi there, I really like your “how to sound like Ravel” video. Could you possibly a “how to sound like Poulenc” video? As I am a huge Poulenc fan. All the best.
This reminds me of F. Strauss' Nocturno Op. 7. or Paul Dukas' Villanelle. The duh dah duh dah undulation makes it feel steady and familiar a corno francese at a low register makes the feels so real for me XD. Not in regards to the pieces, though, the c. francese (low) pairs well for me with the c. inglese (medium) and piano (high) with a pace of about a largo to adagio.
I'm thrilled to see that you've done a video on Hindemith. He was an amazing composer that has definitely been overlooked. I think it's partly because he doesn't have the polemic that surrounds his more infamous predecessors Schoenberg et al. Hindemith immediately saw the essential flaws in Schoenberg's new twelve tone system. He saw, as did others including Messiaen and even Alban Berg, that playing four or five notes from a tone row together and treating it as a chord was not a very coherent or accessible approach to harmony. It's almost as if Schoenberg broke music and became famous as a result of that but the people that came after him and tried to fix things never achieved the attention they deserve. That's not to say that I'm anti-Schoenberg. I think he was a brilliant composer but he's been massively overrated in his capacity as 'Inventor of the New Music'. If you look at the music from the last 100 years, including film music, jazz and popular, it has much more to do with what Hindemith was proposing than the oft-discussed methods of Schoenberg. .
I read the first few seconds of the closed-caption on the front page. I saw "Hindemith" and of course I had to watch. Do you own a copy of "The Craft of Musical Composition"? It's a quirky book, like this composition, but I learned so much from it.
It certainly is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us. I feel the emotions going through my head listening to this tune What do you think of The Lark by Balakirev. That tune gives me the image of a baby lark hatching and then flying away into the distant sky. With sadness and hope at the same time. I saw a young pianist George Harliono playing this tune years back on YT and fell in love with it. If you can breakdown this tune and play it for us, I would be most grateful. Since you are like my remote teacher and guide to the world of piano. Thank you
If I tell this story correctly the way I read it, years ago, Hindemith was a solider WW1 and was in a string quartet. As they were rehearsing Debussy's String Quartet someone rushes in telling of Debussy's death. The moment is of Hindemith, a German, and Debussy, a Frenchmen, united in music but divided by a terrible war.
Is this instinct ... to compose this way ... or is this genius that results from study ... or study that precipitated from genius ... or genius that results from instinct? As an operatic soprano w/ a performance repertoire of over 50 arias by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Vivaldi and dozens of other composers, I want to know ... I'm also trained in German Lieder, French Art Songs, Spanish Folk Songs, etc., with a performance repertoire in ten languages - I've also written over 1,000 songs, composed over a dozen musicals and am now finishing my 14th opera ... so I would like to put my curiosity to rest ... on this topic.
Lovely lesson Nahre! Please consider it may confuse some viewers to see only chord names, then only Roman numerals in your analysis. Pls don't take this as a criticism to your expertise. Thank you
Where can I learn music theory well enough to analyze and compose music? I've tried a bit, but still haven't found anything that helps build from the basics up. I have no idea how chord progressions work, for example.
Also, Happy Birthday to Hindemith today - November 16th (1895)!! 🎈🎂
The moment you played the first notes of Fur Elise, I reached for my mouse, but you said "I'm kidding" just in time. That was funny; another reason to love you. Okay, back to the video...

Two Set Violin disliked this video.
You give me so much joy.
Thank you. Always have been captivated by his pieces that stretch and twist so beautifully.
The Hindemith string sonatas are all full of such nice moments. The first couple violin sonatas are very accessible and not too tricky as well.
I would listen to you teach about anything. Your channel is like a very neat and cozy house, and you, a very accommodating hostess ♥
I’m so glad this video popped up in my feed. I must hear more.
Thanks for the awesome content and education!! I'll have to check out more of his music 😊
Thank you back!!
I can’t recommend enough his Symphonic Metamorphosis on a theme by Carl Maria von Weber if you are looking for a place to start :)
"Music is meaningless noise unless it touches a receiving mind." - Paul Hindemith

Thanks for this gorgeous video!!
Thanks for sharing this piece!
Here are some thoughts on how I was understanding this (using "< - -" for movement down by 4ths and "
Thanks for sharing this amazing piece. Loved the video!
Excellent as allways
It reminds me of the music written by Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Chick Corea, and Herbie Hancock. Thanks for sharing. I’ll check out more later.
Thank you!! Great comparisons... really interesting!
Such a good video and great to learn about a piece I don't know. Very clear and interesting explanation with some very insightful analysis.
Thank you so much 🙏 ❤. You are keeping great artists alive in my heart ❤️💐
Hindemith is one of my favorite composers. The way he plays with tonality is really cool.
I agree!!

Same for me
I began with Bartok then Stockhausen and Boulez
After that all previous composers were easy to listen to

Yes!! Great composers…
I love the way you make me want to learn piano. People have been trying to convince me for years LOL.

Love Hindemith! I played one of his cello sonatas in college on my recital! ❤
Oh wow, yes!! His cello sonatas are super
Man, he would never had a chance with recording companies today.
There's some real gems in Hindemith's chamber music that argue against the slander. His Kleine Sonata for Viola D'amore is wild!
I'm not kidding, I genuinely jumped to close the video as a reflex when I heard Fur Elise 😱
Am I a bad person?
Sometimes I feel I’m only one of three people in the world who prefer the register of the viola over the violin. I’m going to have to listen to more of Hindemith. Thanks!!!
Hindemith’s viola repertoire is a world into its own!!
.....Fur Elise! Good one Nahre!
Sounds like a walk in the park.🙃 And when I heard the FM, A flat M and the BM played next to each other, it immediately reminded me of Star Wars.

Just started to, and will add more to my website this coming season :)

@NahreSol I mean, composition classes because I saw in your website only piano lessons 😊 you are the best !
