Hindemith Kleine Kammermusik op24 5 pts

Kleine Kammermusik - (translates, roughly, as "Little/Small Chamber Music")
for 5 Woodwind

set of parts - Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn and Bassoon

Programme Notes:
The Kleine Kammermusik for Wind Quintet is part of an enormous Kammermusik series, each piece being devoted to a different type of chamber grouping. Written in 1922, it is one of Hindemith’s masterpieces with an early style that was already sophisticated and controlled. The melodic feel of the opening harks forward to later works but the rest of the piece is very much of the moment; very individual and for the time, avant-garde.
