From the Paper:

"Paul Hindemith was born in Hanau, Germany on November 16, 1895. His father, Robert Rudolf, played the zither and was enthusiastic about music. Robert ran away from home at a young age because his father would not let him become a musician and as a result, he decided his own children should have the career he was not permitted to have. He subjected Paul, his brother, Rudolf, and his sister, Toni, to a strict routine of practice and training."
