And when you hear this musical party piece by Paul Hindemith, the joke seems boundless : with subtle irony, but also with a thoroughly earthy sense of humour, the composer takes on the cult-like adulation accorded the Bayreuth master.
This amusing piece is by no means a parody of Wagner ’ s music, but rather – as the title suggests – it pokes fun at the arrangement craze of past times as well as at shoddy musicianship, a most rare commodity in the Philharmonie.
www.digitalconcerthall.comMit feiner Ironie, aber auch durchaus derbem Humor nimmt der Komponist die kultische Verehrung aufs Korn, die dem Bayreuther Meister mitunter zuteil wurde.
Dabei ist das humorvolle Werk keineswegs eine Parodie auf Wagners Musik, sondern – der Titel deutet es bereits an – auf die Bearbeitungswut vergangener Zeiten sowie auf schlechtes Musizieren.
