[L’] influence de la viole d’amour sur le développement de l’alto moderne tel que proposé par Paul Hindemith

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.
