After the Nazis condemned this symphony as degenerate, Wilhelm Furtwängler (“FOORT-veng-lurr”) defended it in an article titled for its composer’s “case.” For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this 1934 symphony by Paul Hindemith. The opera based on it wasn’t premiered for another four years, during Hindemith’s political exile in Switzerland.
ANSWER: Symphonie Mathis der Maler [or Matthias the Painter]
[10h] During his Swiss exile, Hindemith wrote this chamber work, whose first movement’s piano part is dominated by the rhythm: dotted eighth, sixteenth note, and then six eighth notes. This piece concludes with a funeral march based on the chorale “All Men Must Die.”
ANSWER: Hindemith’s trumpet sonata [or sonata for trumpet and piano]
[10e] Also premiered during Hindemith’s Swiss exile was his sonata for this double-reed woodwind, whose “contra” variety is the lowest instrument in a standard orchestra.
