Eclectic Approaches, Influences, and Stylistic Parallels in Paul Hindemith’s Sonata for Two Pianos

Çağla Coker

This article will focus on Paul Hindemith’s Sonata for Two Pianos and attempt to exemplify its eclectic approaches as well as technical and stylistic parallels and influences, both from the piece’s past and future. Examples that predate the piece do not necessarily mean they are direct references but should be perceived as having common ancestors, much like how Darwinian evolution trees are understood, and examples that postdate the piece do not necessarily mean they have been directly influenced but rather that the original work foreshadowed certain concepts that were meant to appear in due time. Although Hindemith was one of the most important and prolific composers of the 20th century, his works did not receive as much attention from many musicologists and performers as his contemporaries. The purpose of this article is to renew interest in Sonata for Two Pianos, which deserves to have a significant high standing in the piano repertoire. Paul Hindemith’s Sonata for Two Pianos should be considered as a piece that should be played more frequently in piano recitals and studied more deeply by musicologists. In addition, Hindemith’s eclectic compositional approach in his works needs to be examined thoroughly. This article uses the methods of qualitative analysis and comparative analysis on the works before and after Hindemith’s Sonata for Two Pianos in addition to a score analysis.

Paul Hindemith’in İki Piyano için Sonat’ındaki Eklektik Yaklaşımlar, Etkileşimler ve Üslupsal Paralellikler

Çağla Coker

Bu makale, Paul Hindemith’in İki Piyano için Sonat’ını inceleyecek ve eserdeki eklektik yaklaşımları, teorik ve biçimsel benzerlikleri eserin öncül ve ardıllarından örneklerle açıklamaya çalışacaktır. Eserin öncülü olan örnekler, doğrudan kaynak olmaktan ziyade, daha çok Darwin’in evrimsel hayat ağacında olduğu gibi ortak bir kökene sahip oldukları şeklinde algılanmalı, eserin ardılı olan örnekler ise, onları doğrudan etkilemekten ziyade, zamanı geldiğinde ortaya çıkacak olan belirli kavramların işareti olarak anlaşılmalıdır. Paul Hindemith, 20. yüzyılın en önemli ve üretken bestecilerinden biri olmasına rağmen, eserleri birçok müzikolog ve icracı tarafından çağdaşları kadar ilgi görememiştir. Bu makalenin amacı, piyano repertuarında önemli ve yüksek bir yere sahip olmayı hak eden İki Piyano için Sonat’a ilgiyi tazelemektir. Paul Hindemith’in İki Piyano için Sonatı’nın, piyano resitallerinde daha sık çalınması ve müzikologlar tarafından daha derinlemesine incelenmesi gereken bir eser olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra Hindemith’in eserlerindeki eklektik kompozisyon yaklaşımının da ayrıntılarıyla incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu makalede kullanılan yöntemler, nitel analiz, Hindemith’in İki Piyano için Sonatı öncesi ve sonrası eserlerin karşılaştırmalı analizi ve partisyon analizidir.
