Note: / The brilliant musical career of Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) could be definedaround two roles: the virtuosic interpreter, and the prolific composer. In 1922,Hindemith's fascination with the viola d'amore, as a performer, brought him closer to theworld of early music. His fascination led him to write two pieces for viola d'amore: theKleine Sonate for viola d'amore and piano, Op. 25, No.2 (1922) and the KammermusikNo.6 for viola d'amore and orchestra, Op. 46, No.1 (1927). These pieces represented aimportant turning point for Hindemith, in that their composition led him to develop a newtechnical and stylistic approach to his main instrument: the viola. / La brillante carriere musicale de Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) se partage entredeux aspects distincts de son enorme talent: l'interprete virtuose innovateur et Ieprolifique compositeur. En 1922, Hindemith se rapproche du monde de la musiqueancienne via sa fascination, en tant qu'interprete, pour la viole d'amour. C'est ainsi queHindemith aura compose deux reuvres pour la viole d'arnour: la petite sonate pour violed'amour et piano, Op. 25 No.2 (1922) ainsi que Ie Kammermusik No.6 pour violed'arnour et orchestre, Op.46 No.1 (1927). Ces pieces se veulent un veritable pointtoumant pour Ie cornpositeur puisqu'a travers eUes, il developpera des nouvellesapproches techniques et stylistiques pour son instrument de predilection, ralto.

The trumpet was one of the wind instruments Hindemith used frequently in his chamber music, and he employed it prominently in five works from 1925 to 1954. These works are the Sonate fur Trompete (1939), the Konzert fur Trompete in B und Fagott mit Streichorchester (1954), Drei Stucke (19251 the Septett fur Blasinstrumente (1949), and "Morgenmusik," from the collection Plöner Musiktag (1932). This study examines and compares Hindemith's writing for the trumpet in these selected works, noting features in his use of the instrument which determine the applicability of the works to the Gebrauchsmusik concept.

In the years during the writing of The Craft of Musical Composition, and for the next few years afterwards, Hindemith was engaged in writing a solo sonata for each of the instruments of the orchestra. Muser states that this series of sonatas continues a definite policy of providing music for people who want to play music, and not merely to listen to it. The three sonatas for solo brass instruments and piano were written during this period. The sonatas, written for trumpet, horn, and trombone, were written in the following order: Sonata for Trumpet and Piano—1939; Sonata for Horn and Piano—1939; Sonata for Trombone and Piano—1941. These sonatas, being written rather closely together, should have certain stylistic characteristics in common, and there should also be certain features peculiar to each sonata. To study these sonatas and compare them with each other structurally and stylistically is the purpose of this work.
