To date, only a few people have known Paul Hindemith, one of the most important composers of our century, as a creator of humorous and funny, sometimes even angry and sarcastic drawings. On the occasion of his 100th birthday, about 200 out of more than 350 drawings left by the composer are published in this book for the first time. These drawings show the combination of subtle humour and hidden seriousness which characterizes not only the personality of Hindemith but also his existence as an artist reflected in his musical works.
