DrJellifish, I thank you infinitely for the information.......it's a pity that it does not exist in the Italian language.

You're welcome; the first book, the theory one, is in English (see above); the other two seem to be exercise books in two and three parts, so the language shouldn't be a very big problem.

Hello, I translated about fifty pages of the first volume into Italian, but then I stopped... I see that you asked two years ago, but if you are still interested, I can send them to you up to that point.

Hi, I am writing a thesis on Hindemith, could you send me the part you translated? Thanks a lot

Good evening Giacinta, I found this thread because I am also interested in the three volumes of "The Craft of Musical Composition".

If you are still on the forum, and if it is still possible, I would also be interested in your translation, even if partial, of the first volume.

Thank you for your attention
