Paul Hindemith's Der Schwanendreher (literally, "swan-turner" in reference to cooking over a spit) was composed in 1935. It is a viola concerto, which already makes it unusual. Each movement is based on a separate folk song. This composition draws its title from this final movement's folk song base, "Aren't you the swan-turner?"

  1. Zwischen Berg un tiefem Tal. Langsam – Mäßig bewegt, mit Kraft
  2. Nun laube, Lindlein, laube. Sehr ruhig – Fugato
  3. Variationen: Seid ihr nicht der Schwanendreher? Mäßig schnell
