| In the current edition, the tempo is quarter = 96-100, in the older edition (also published by Schott) it is half note = 96-100.
Ed Treutel told me that he asked Hindemith about this at Princeton, and that Hindemith assured him that it was a misprint. However, Treutel insisted that Hindemith preferred the faster tempo. Given that the later edition is at the slower tempo (and that, to my ears at least, the slower tempo makes more sense), I'm convinced he simply got it backwards ...
