The work of
Paul Hindemith is
encyclopedic in nature.
From the outset, he
worked in all musical
genres and devised
several of his musical
ideas and projects not as
individual,
self-contained works but
as work cycles with
different functional
relationships. These
contrasting pieces
complement each other if
experienced as part of
the overall structure.
Hindemith himself not
only wanted a complete
edition of his collected
works but had begun
planning it; at his death
he left a detailed list
of Unpublished pieces for
an eventual complete
edition. The Complete
Works contain all
finished works in all
extant versions, newly
engraved for the edition.
Sketches and fragments
are published in
appendices of the
relevant volume, and are
evaluated in the
Introduction and Critical
Commentary by the
respective volume editor.
Each volume contains a
preface by the editorial
directors and an
introduction by the
volume editor,
delineating the genesis
and performance history
of the work, with
authentic performance
instructions, an
evaluation of extant
recordings by Paul
Hindemith himself and a
Critical Commentary. The
Complete Works of Paul
Hindemith are thus
presented in a critical,
scholarly edition which
is equally appropriate
for study and
performance. Hindemith
researchers will welcome
the numerous first
publications of works by
the composer, and
practical musicians will
appreciate the newly
prepared, philologically
ordered performance
material.
