0:00 - I. Allegro 3:56 - II. Turandot, Scherzo 11:17 - III. Andantino 15:33 - IV. Marsch

The composer took up every instrument so that he could know its capabilities. The results were many instrumental sonatas and some powerful symphonic music. He deserves to be performed more!

I work as a substitute teacher, and even though I'm not a music major, i love subbing for band directors because I know how to conduct. So a BD contacted me on Friday night and sent me the music list for Monday. This was on it, so I was geeked all weekend. I love this march. I played it in college, and couldn't wait to conduct it. I leapt out of bed on Monday and charged into school. Muscled through the first three hours of Cadet Band, Beginner Band, and Symphonic Band to get to the Wind Ensemble at 1pm. I was unaware that it had been snowing like crazy all day (It's early November. Why would it snow??). So I was shocked to learn that they were sending the kids home early. I never got to conduct this damn piece. So sad, also because this band director almost NEVER takes a day off. Here it is weeks later and I'm still bummed.

SO sorry! I hope it can happen in your future. I conducted the march for an air baton contest held by a local classical radio station (yeah, that was a while back!), and it was a blast! I finally got to play the band transcription of this in Intercollegiate Band, and it was totally awesome, as you'd expect! btw, I also used to sub and the band and choral directors always requested me for the same reason as yours. My favorite was conducting Armenian Dances (Reed) and having to figure out on the fly how to do 5/8.....and the beat pattern alternates between 2+3 and 3+2 in some spots! But that was FUN!

I've never understood why this piece isn't HUGELY popular. You'd think every major symphony orchestra in the world would want to program it regularly! It's got everything--great tunes, spectacular orchestration, wit, excitement, accessibility. I can't think of a better orchestral showpiece. Maybe it needs to be retitled. "Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von Weber" isn't exactly inviting. Anyone have any ideas?

After I graduated, friends I met said - "You have a degree in Music and do not know who the "Cure" is or "REM". I agreed with them.

Our HS band was supposed to play this, and I was super excited!! That is, until everything got shut down. We played andantino for our ballad during marching band though.

Ah, Hindemith truly outdid himself here! What an orchestra! What ecstasy!

You posted this right as I'm riding a wave of obsession with this piece; and the SFSO with Blomstedt is my favorite version! Thanks!

I find it depressing that many people cant stand his other works calling them to Heavy and to academic. Hindemith is probably my second fave composer of the 20th century beaten only by Britten. I love almost everything he composed. Also, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed is NEVER MENTIONED and it is imo one of the most important works of all music beaten again by Britten and his War Requiem.

In my opinion, this is one of the very best 20th century works, played wonderfully here by the SFO. Very underrated composer, who has the best endings of movements ever. And, a violist to boot!! We violists are a best held secret in classical music....

Man was makin sick beats in the 40s

Man, I love everything about this piece, especially the first and fourth movements.

Blown away! I heard Hindemith many many years ago at a concert in my youth. I remember really liking it. Not sure if this is it, but very glad I rediscovered Hindemith.

Cool piece. My daughter is currently learning this (along with 5 other exerpts) for her TSYO audition in September. Wish her luck.

I've been told that the job of a conductor is very, very hard. Watching the pages of this score flash by while listening... I can't actually imagine how difficult it must be. To be able to track every measure of every instrument in the score, while guiding, modulating and correcting in real time...? It's like juggling bowling balls, flaming torches, and chainsaws. But harder.
