The chamber music works are among Hindemith's most successful instrumental works of the 1920s. At the world premiere of 'Chamber Music No. 1', the audience even demanded a repetition of the third and forth movements. But the title of the series of works consisting of seven compositions altogether is misleading: The individual pieces rather have concertante soloistic features. No. 1 is characterized by 'instruments', like a can filled with sand and a siren, as well as the rich use of the percussion; No. 2, on the other hand, resembles a piano concerto.
The scores are based on Vol. IV/3 (PHA 403) of the Hindemith Complete Edition, edited by Giselher Schubert.
Instrumentation:
viola d'amore and chamber orchestra
op. 46/1
