35 (2006): 94. The expression “spiritual emigra tion” occurs in a document in which Hindemith asked the authorities about his position on various matters. See Claudia Maurer Zenck, “Zwischen Boykott und Anpassung an den Charakter der Zeit. Über die Schierigkeiten eines deutschen Komponisten mit dem Dritten Reich,” Hindemith Jahrbuch 9 (1980): 65–129 and Albrecht Dümling and Peter Grith, eds., Entartete Musik: Eine kom mentierte Rekonstruktion (Düsseldorf: Entartete Musik, 1988). 2 Paul Hindemith, Verzeichnis aller fertigen Kompositionen, 1913–1938 , 117. During his life Hindemith made five main work lists: Verzeichnis aller fertigen Kompositionen, 1913–1938 ; the hand written list from 1938; Paul Hindemith Kompositionen, 1939–1954 ; Paul Hindemith Kompositionen von 1955 an; and Zusammenfassung aller Werkverzeichnisse, Paul Hindemith Verzeichnis (aller Kompositionen von 1914 an) . Date and place of completion, first performance, and publication
of each work are included. These lists have been essential in establishing certain details, especially concerning unpublished and lost compositions. Schott also published a catalogue in 2002, which gives an almost complete list of what is known of Hindemith’s compositional and literary output. These lists are all found in the Hindemith Institute, Frankfurt am Main. 3 Hans Kohlhase, introduction to Bratschenkonzerte, by Paul Hindemith, Sämtliche Werke , ed.
