Additional info/contents	Spiel op.39 for symphonic wind ensemble was composed at the instigation of Paul Hindemith and received its first performance in 1926 directed by Hermann Scherchen at the Donaueschingen Chamber Music Festival. Toch himself wrote an alternative arrangement of the work for the wind section of a symphony orchestra. This edition has been adapted for the instruments usually found in a wind band today, with regard to the clarinets and trumpets, without altering the musical substance of the work. There is no part for saxophone as in the original. Today Spiel is still considered to be one of the best compositions of concert music. "Spiel für Blasorchester" was written at Hindemith's suggestion in 1926 for the Donaueschinger Musiktage and was first performed on 24 July by the music corps stationed there under the direction of Hermann Scherchen.
