Eulenburg Miniature Scores
Musique de chambre n° 6. pour viole d'amour et orchestre de chambre. op. 46/1. viola d'amore and chamber orchestra. Partition d'étude.

The chamber music works are among Hindemith's most successful instrumental works of the 1920s. At the world premiere of Chamber Music No. 1, the audience even demanded a repetition of the third and fourth movements. But the title is misleading : The individual pieces rather bear concertante and soloistic markings than bow to chamber music traditions. Chamber Music No. 6 focuses on the viola d'amore which, despite its virtuoso handling, is challenged by a few individual instruments separated from the orchestral setting.
The scores are based on Volume IV/3 (PHA 403) of the Hindemith Complete Edition edited by Giselher Schubert. Instrumentation : viola d'amore and chamber orchestra op. 46/1

The chamber music works are among Hindemith's most successful instrumental works of the 1920s. At the world premiere of 'Chamber Music No. 1', the audience even demanded a repetition of the third and forth movements. But the title of the series of works consisting of seven compositions altogether is misleading : The individual pieces rather have concertante soloistic features. No. 1 is characterized by 'instruments', like a can filled with sand and a siren, as well as the rich use of the percussion ; No.
2, on the other hand, resembles a piano concerto. The scores are based on Vol. IV/3 (PHA 403) of the Hindemith Complete Edition, edited by Giselher Schubert. Besetzung : viola d'amore and chamber orchestra op. 46/1
