Hindemith wrote his trio setting in the original version for three guitars in 1930 – initially intended as middle piece of the cantata 'Wanderlieder' and commissioned by 'Tage für Neue Musik Berlin' [Berlin Days of New Music] under the motto of 'Spiele und Lieder für Kinder' [Games and Songs for Children]. In 1938, the composer had to leave his manuscripts behind in Germany, but later remembered the little piece when making a list of unprinted pieces. The original version of Hindemith's 'Rondo for 3 Guitars' was published in 2008 for the first time as part of the Hindemith Complete Edition and is now also available as separate edition.
