  • Descrição: Monchick explores how Paul hindemith wrote opera in his films. During its efflorescence in the 1920s, the silent film had a profound effect on the arts, particularly music, which film needed as its voice. Film provided composers not only new creative and profitable opportunities, but profoundly affected, whether consciously or subconsciously, musical thought. Like several of his contemporaries, Hindemith used the medium of film as a way to recapture a diminishing opera audience. His first full-length opera, Cardillac (1926), maintained a kinship with contemporary German Expressionist film for its plot and extended pantomime scene, and his one-act opera Hin und zuruck (1927), or "There and Back," contains references to silent film scoring and even invokes the actual music of silent film. Hindemith's interest in film was not simply financial, but aligned closely with his musical aesthetics. Whereas a few German-language studies, such as those by Friederike Beker, Lothar Prox, and Gieselher Schubert, have focused on Hindemith's encounters with film during the 1920s, the impact that film had on his dramatic work has been largely neglected. Expressionist film plots, live film accompaniment, and film scoring profoundly shaped Hindemith's musical thought.
