          DEU/USA [1895-1963]Group: Neoclassicism Short description: Early works are in a late romantic idiom, and he later produced expressionist works, rather in the style of early Arnold Schoenberg, before developing a leaner, contrapuntally complex style. Very different neoclassicism from the works by Stravinsky labeled with that term, owing more to contrapuntal language of Bach and Reger than the Classical clarity of Mozart. Unusual small instrumental ensembles. One traditional aspect of classical music that Hindemith retains is the idea of dissonance resolving to consonance. Much of his music begins in consonant territory, progresses rather smoothly into dissonance, and resolves at the end in full, consonant chords. Tonal but non-diatonic. Like most tonal music, it is centered on a tonic and modulates from one tonal center to another, but it uses all 12 notes freely rather than relying on a scale picked as a subset of these notes.
