Episode 4: Paul Klee and the music of his contemporaries

Paul Klee was a painter, but played the violin all his life and regularly went to concerts and the opera. He was particularly fond of classical and romantic music, but he also enjoyed the music of some of his contemporaries: he greatly appreciated Hindemith and Stravinsky, while Schoenberg and Webern did not seem to have particularly interested him. You can find out more about this in this episode of “Paul Klee's Playlist”.
