Paul Hindemith

Paul Hindemith was a composer who, on one hand, was very traditional: his orchestration style is reminiscent of late Romanticism, and his forms are deeply rooted in contrapuntal writing, giving his music a familiar flavor. On the other hand, he developed his own musical system, which allowed him to approach harmony in a unique way,
