- Abstract
- The brilliant musical career of Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) could be definedaround two roles: the virtuosic interpreter, and the prolific composer. In 1922,Hindemith's fascination with the viola d'amore, as a performer, brought him closer to theworld of early music. His fascination led him to write two pieces for viola d'amore: theKleine Sonate for viola d'amore and piano, Op. 25, No.2 (1922) and the KammermusikNo.6 for viola d'amore and orchestra, Op. 46, No.1 (1927). These pieces represented aimportant turning point for Hindemith, in that their composition led him to develop a newtechnical and stylistic approach to his main instrument: the viola.

En 1922, Hindemith se rapproche du monde de la musiqueancienne via sa fascination, en tant qu'interprete, pour la viole d'amour. C'est ainsi queHindemith aura compose deux reuvres pour la viole d'arnour: la petite sonate pour violed'amour et piano, Op. 25 No.2 (1922) ainsi que Ie Kammermusik No.6 pour violed'arnour et orchestre, Op.46 No.1 (1927).
