That's interesting; so Voisin confirms Treutel's account of Hindemith's intentions!

As I mentioned above, Treutel also insisted on playing it in cut time (half note = 96-100), and, now that I've read John's remarks, I vaguely remember that he actually wanted an even faster tempo (i.e., closer to John's half note = 116). I always thought that Treutel must've remembered that there was a misprint, but, since I was using the later -already corrected - edition, had simply gotten it backwards. I guess that was a little too easy ...
