HINDEMITH Kleine Kammermusik, Op 24 No 2
DAMASE 17 Variations, Op 22
IBERT 3 Pièces brèves

Works by three eclectic composers comprise this afternoon’s programme.

Paul Hindemith’s output was bewilderingly large, and the Kleine Kammermusik performed today finds him in neoclassical mood. Jacques Ibert also wrote much music across several genres, including for several French- and English-language films. Pianist Jean-Michel Damase had a much smaller output, but wrote several pieces for wind quintet.
