Hindemith: Sonata for Solo Cello, Op. 25 No. 3 arr. for Solo Double Bass (Kurth)

About the Arrangement This one's for you, all you atonal warriors, you rule-breakers, you iconoclasts, you sowers of discord and reapers of revolution. You who abjure the ordinary, you who scoff at those who wallow in the pillow-strewn featherbed of tonality, you who stomp disdainfully on the smoldering remnants of classical beauty. (Also, for you who have to play something from the 20th century to fulfill a recital requirement but can't seem to find a pianist willing to play the Hindemith Bass Sonata with you.) Here, behold the great Hindemith Sonata for Solo Cello, arranged for the virtuoso bassist unafraid of double-stop dissonance, motivated to upend those moth-eaten pillars of the pre-modern, eager to offend the pearl-clutching public with a truly magnificent aural assault. In five movements (yes, five! Because four movements are so 19th century!), one of which might be performed by itself if you run out of practice time before your recital date.
