I know someone will correct me if I am wrong... I'm not 100% certain of the date of composition off hand, but it was during the war era in Germany.... to give some comparison, James Watson was telling me about his trumpet part for the trumpet sonata... on the top right of the page there was a swastika stamped on it... Kinda puts it into contrast.. he also had a fabulous quote about playing Hindemith..."No note must smile, if one does... you have lost" Not a ton of info... but some food for thought.

Hi everyone., I recently started looking at the Hindemith Sonata and am looking for some background history on the piece. I've been looking around on google but nothing really significant has shown up. Does anyone know anything about the piece that would help with interpreting what kind of character he was going for? Did he write it for a specific person? That sort of thing.
