Theodor W. Adornos Urteile uber Paul Hindemith haben die offentliche Diskussion um einen der bekanntesten deutschen Komponisten des 20. Jahrhunderts entscheidend gepragt. Ende der siebziger Jahre gab es so gut wie keine massgebliche Stimme, die der in der Textsammlung Ad vocem Hindemith formulierten Diagnose einer geduckt spiessigen, latent autoritatshorigen Musikantenmusik Triftiges entgegenzusetzen gehabt hatte. Die bereits wenige Jahre spater zogernd einsetzenden Bemuhungen um eine Rehabilitation des Hindemithschen Werkes klammerten Adornos Fundamentalkritik zumeist aus und versaumten - von wenigen Ausnahmen abgesehen - jene direkte Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Texten, die (mit einer Verspatung von fast 30 Jahren) im Mittelpunkt der vorliegenden Untersuchung steht.
