Lustige Sinfonietta was written in 1916.  The Sinfonietta in E was written
much later.  The opening movements are nothing alike:  Lustige Sinfonietta
starts slowly; the Sinfonietta is one of those "motor-rhythm" thingies that
keeps tightening the screws.

The Sinfonietta was recorded by Robert Whitney on Louisville.  Lustige
Sinfonietta is part of the cpo series of Hindemith orchestral works.
