Hindemith: Quartet for Piano, Clarinet, Violin and Cello

DW staff (kg/kjb)September 23, 2008

Paul Hindemith composed his quartet for piano, clarinet, violin and cello in 1938 as he was emigrating from Germany. It reflects neoclassical as well as contrapuntal elements harkening back to the Baroque period.
