URTEXT EDITION  This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here. In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material). You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired. More information can be found here. Please obey the copyright laws of your country.

The rest of the volume may be purely of Hindemith handwritting with the preface written by the editors only. Purchase Javascript is required for this feature.

• Unterweisung im Tonsatz. Theoretischer Teil [Craft I]

- The first volume went through multiple drafts before its publication in 1937; see Schubert (item 394) for details. The second German edition (1940) is considerably expanded, especially in terms of speculative content. English translation (Arthur Mendel): The Craft of Musical Composition: Theoretical Part. New York: Associated Music Publishers, 1942. All editions of the English translation are based on the second German version; there are minor variants between English editions (e.g., all since at least 1945 have corrected equal-temperament values in the "Derivation of the Tones from C" chart [see Chromatische Tonleiter above for details]). French translation of chapter 3, sections 10-12 (chordal analysis and chord groups), and chapter 6 (the musical analyses in Paul Hindemith (Ostinato rigore) (item 108), pp.101-114 and 115-134, respectively.

- Apparently published before the English translation of Craft I (see a letter from Hindemith to Hans Boettcher of 25 March 1941, reproduced in item 134, p.211).

- As with the revision of Das Marienleben, Hindemith considered this work complete at a number of times; unlike the song cycle, however, he was never happy enough with it to allow its publication. One of his work lists notes that it was finished at the end of March 1942, and follows this with the rueful note: "Wieder geändert" (changed again. According to the preface of the published edition, a first version was completed in 1945. Luther Noss (item 238, p.133) reports that another version resulted from extensive work in 1949, and according to Hindemith's Work lists was completed on 14 July of that year (see Neumeyer, item 602, p.28). Yet another version was wokred out in the early 1950s during Hindemith's tenure at the University of Zurich (Craft III preface, p.8).

- A rejected "19. Übung" appears in the Briner biography (item 38, pp.323-338); Briner notes that Hindemith distributed it to his Zürich students in 1951 as a preparatory chapter for a theory of rhythm and form. A "21. Übung" discussing four part writing exists in manuscript at the Hindemith Institute and in copy at the Yale Hindemith Collection; Neyermeyer (item 602, p.21) refers to this as a chapter for a planned Craft IV. There are at least two distinct printings of the work; the earliest printing reproduces bars 7-10 of ex.5 (p.212) before bars 4-6 (se Slatin (item 416), p.147). An English translation by John Barnes Colman was announced but never published.
