His compositions are characterized by complex and intricate fugal techniques which have been compared to mathematical formulas. In his works, Hindemith created a series of complex patterns and harmonies which form the backbone of his compositions. The composer used his mathematical knowledge to create a music that was both unique and innovative. Hindemith\u2019s works are known for their intricate and convoluted textures and his compositions are an exploration of the complex and sophisticated mathematical structure that underlies them. Hindemith\u2019s compositions have a mathematical purity which is a product of his rigorous training in music theory and mathematics.
