The Sonata for Viola, op. 11, no. 4 (1919) manifests Hindemith's break from the High Romantic idiom, a departure that preluded a broader backlash against late nineteenth century aesthetic ideals in post-war Germany. This paper contextualizes the piece within Hindemith's oeuvre as well as within the changing aesthetics of Germany's Weimar period. The methodology includes a brief overview of his composition training and output prior to 1919, analysis of the influence of his WWI experience on his aesthetic approach, and the employment of counter-romantic elements in the Viola Sonata.
