Composition History
The premiere of Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat in 1918 was followed by numerous cancellations due to the Spanish Flu and the end of World War I.
Composition History
Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat was conceived by a 'quartet of friends' as a portable theater piece for a touring stage, to ensure performances and income during wartime.
Historical Context
Igor Stravinsky's income was cut off during World War I and the October Revolution, leading to a period he called 'a time of bad macaroni'.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Hindemith's compositional principles, such as 'superordinate two-part writing' and 'stepwise progression', are evident in his Clarinet Sonata.
Composition History
Richard Strauss's Duett Concertino, his last instrumental work, was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale 'The Swineherd', though he later simplified the programmatic idea.
Composer Biography
Paul Hindemith, an established avant-garde composer, was branded 'culture-Bolshevik' and 'atonal noise-maker' by the National Socialists, leading to a ban on his works.
