Professor Christian Höppner Is a New Member of the Foundation Council of the Fondation Hindemith
The Foundation Council of the Fondation Hindemith has appointed Professor Christian Höppner, Secretary General of the German Music Council, to the Foundation Council.
Since its world premiere in May 1938, the musical text of the opera Mathis der Maler had only been available as a facsimile of the autograph manuscript. A score in modern note typesetting is now being published with the edition of the opera as part of the Hindemith-Gesamtausgabe.
In Volume II, 9 of the Hindemith-Gesamtausgabe four orchestral works are published which Hindemith extracted from his own stage works, in some cases on his own initiative, in others encouraged by Schott Publishers, and had published separately.
The thematic areas of focus in this year’s Hindemith-Jahrbuch are Hindemith’s activities in Turkey during the years 1935 to 1937. By order of the Western-orientated government of state grounder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, he established modern education for musicians and music teachers that has left traces lasting up to the present day.
