The ''Konzertmusik'' for Brass and String Orchestra, Op. 50, is a work by Paul Hindemith, composed in 1930. It was one of a large group of pieces commissioned for the 50th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra by its music director, Serge Koussevitzky (others include the Piano Concerto in G major by Maurice Ravel, the Symphony of Psalms by Igor Stravinsky, and Aaron Copland' This was the last of three 1930 scores that Hindemith designated "Konzertmusik" (which may be translated as "Concert Music"): the others were the ''Konzertmusik for Viola and Chamber Orchestra'', Op. 48, and the ''Konzertmusik for Piano, Brass and Harp'', Op. 49. Hindemith never used for the designation for any subsequent work, and the ''Konzertmusik for Brass and String Orchestra'' was the last piece to which he assigned an opus number. Some twenty minutes in duration, Hindemith's score is cast in two movements, each divided into several sections: I. Mässig schnell, mit Kraft – Sehr breit, aber stehts fliessend (Moderately fast, with power – Very broad, but always flowing) II. Lebhaft – Langsam – Im ersten Zeitmass (Fast – Slow – Tempo primo) == Instrumentation == The score of this work calls for 4 French horns in F, 4 trumpets in C, 3 trombones, bass tuba and a four-section string orchestra of violins, violas, cellos and double basses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Konzertmusik for Brass and String Orchestra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
