/A ///*U C-Bogard, Rickey G., The Trumpet in Selected Solo and Chamber Works of PaulHindemith: Elements of Trumpet Technique and Their Relationship to theGebrauchsmusik Concept. A Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of SelectedWorks of J. N. Hummel, A. Jolivet, C. Chaynes and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts(Performance), August, 1994, 106 pp., 56 musical examples, bibliography, 52 titles.Paul Hindemith was unquestionably one of the most important composers of thetwentieth century. He was internationally acclaimed as a performer, composer, andteacher. His theory and composition books are landmarks in theoretical study, and hiscompositions encompass every genre from solo and chamber to opera and symphonicworks.Hindemith was one of the first twentieth-century composers to utilize windinstruments extensively in his chamber music. While Post-Romantic composers beforehim preferred strings and piano in their chamber music, Hindemith achieved a moreextensive palette of instrumental colors by including at one time or another most of thewind instruments. His inclusion of winds is all the more extraordinary in that heproduced a solo work for every major orchestral wind instrument.The trumpet was one of the wind instruments Hindemith used frequently in hischamber music, and he employed it prominently in five works from 1925 to 1954. Theseworks are the Sonate fur Trompete (1939), the Konzert fur Trompete in B und Fagott mitStreichorchester (1954). Drei Stucke (19251 the Septett fur Blasinstrumente (1949), and"Morgenmusik," from the collection Ploner Musiktag (1932). This study examines andcompares Hindemith's writing for the trumpet in these selected works, noting features inhis use of the instrument which determine the applicability of the works to theGebrauchsmusik concept.

Hindemith's concern for making his works playable in part reflects his philosophyof composition embodied by the term Gebrauchsmusik. This term is not used exclusivelyin connection with Hindemith's music, but is often used by historians to explain theidiomatic writing in evidence in his compositions compared to the more abstract andtechnically demanding works of his contemporaries. Gebrauchsmusik is defined asmusic intended for practical use by amateurs, as opposed to virtuosic music conceivedfor the professional player. From about 1927, Hindemith committed a period of hiscompositional output to music of this nature, which he preferred to call Sing und SpielMusik. Works from this group are briefly considered to determine the elements whichextend their accessibility to amateurs.
