Re: Hindemith Quintet Op. 30

The original edition was just delivered in the last hour.

So, I agree - the differences are substantial. Alterations go from the subtle to complete recasting of material to altogether different material.

Listening to recordings online, it seems the original is more difficult. In the revised version, lines are not carried out anywhere near as long, giving a lot more places to take breaths. Some sections were originally written without much thought about breathing, and the revision takes this into account to a much greater extent.

It sure would be interesting to play both editions together on a concert. Only the nerdiest of the nerds might come, though.

Thanks!
