{"product_id":"9783795795627","title":"Ludus Tonalis (1942): Studies in Counterpoint, Tonal Organization and Piano Playing","description":"\u003cp\u003e(Schott). The cycle of fugues is introduced and concluded by a Praeludium and Postludium, the second formed by turning the Praeludium upside down and reading it backwards. In solving technical problems he posed himself, Hindemith created a work of considerable imagination. Intellectual achievement and sheer delight in playing are shown not to be mutually exclusive. The Ludus is a graphic example of the composer's delight in the fantastic. He illustrated the work with colored pencil, drawing a lion for each entry of the subject of the fugues. And for each of the twelve, a different kind of lion according to the character of the music, providing an instructive formal analysis of the music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Schott","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058245386480,"sku":"9783795795627","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783795795627","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
