URTEXT EDITION 

This is an urtext/critical/scholarly/scientific edition (or a simple re-engraving). Any commentary or critical apparatus, if protected by copyright, should not be included in the scan(s) available here.

In Canada, new editions/re-engravings of public domain works (when not including new original material) should be in the public domain due to failing to meet the threshold of originality. In most European Union countries, these editions (except new original material) are generally protected for no more than 25 years from publication (30 years in Poland), and only if the edition is published after the copyrights of the original creator(s) have expired. In the United States, copyright can only apply to new creative work, and the re-engraving of a public domain piece (not including new additions of creative material) should not qualify for a new copyright, despite copyright claims (which properly would only apply to new material).

You may need to check the publication date and details of the work's first publication in order to determine the work's copyright status, especially for the United States, as the copyright on the original work may not have expired.

  • Referred to by Hindemith as "Sonatine" in his war diary. Numbered Op.11 No.2 in manuscript. Hindemith consistently referred to the piece as "fĂĽr Klavier und Violine." Occasionally referred to as his violin sonata "No.1" in some older sources, but never by Hindemith himself.
-Paul Hindemith: A Research and Information Guide
  • The 3rd movement began work apparently in late May 1918; surviving fragment possibly as late as March 1919; published only in SW.
-Paul Hindemith: A Research and Information Guide
"E-flat major" is an artifact of this site's standardizations but is an inaccurate way to describe this work (or most works by Hindemith after a certain point in this career) - ES
