Hindemith's Sonata for Clarinet and Piano is a virtuosic and expressive work in four movements. The piece centers around its substantial third movement (Sehr Langsam), which contains some of the most persuasive melodic material Hindemith was to compose, particularly in its final few bars. The outer movements are lighter in scale but nonetheless enjoyable to play.
