by Ian C Kemp
This book is extremely short - a mere 59 pages. Kemp provides a brief overview of Hindemith's output and the technical and stylistic features of his work, with occasional peeks at the composer's development. This book works primarily as a nice set of guideposts for what to listen for or pay attention to in Hindemith's music, but the brevity precludes any in-depth analysis of the subject. I also woulds have liked a little more attention to Hindemith's life, as his biography is quite interesting.
