John Wiser replies to me: >>Hindemith: Lustige Sinfonietta >>Sinfonietta in E > >I _think_ these are the same piece, Steve. 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. Steve Schwartz
