It's the first of his six symphonies - probably his best known and maybe the best of the six. It's derived from his opera Mathis der Maler. Similarly his Fifth Symphony was derived from his opera Die Harmonie der Welt, and shares the opera's title. I think Hindemith's star has faded quite a bit since his death in 1963 which is a pity. Amid all the rather grey functional pedagogic material are some really superb pieces. His Violin Concerto for instance ought to be a repertoire piece.
Any support for a Hindemith thread?

... and Mrs Norma joins the party too.
btw.
Pasta alla norma is a classic pasta dish in Sicilian cuisine from Catania, an Italian city on the east coast of Sicily. It's made with tomatoes, fried eggplant, grated ricotta cheese, and basil. It should be very rare that a meal is named after an opera. Maybe I should finally invent the Tannhauser goulash.

Yes, you are right JS. That is the same edition I have. Thanks for the hint, so I could use my time for other 'projects'.
