How “Not” to Play Hindemith?

My student Dave Elbrecht pointed this out to me. Here’s what the video includes as commentary:

A "how not to play" demonstration of the Hindemith Double Bass Sonata, 3rd movement. Don’t play it too slow! Otherwise it will sound like this. Also, be kinder to notes at the ends of phrases, otherwise they will sound choked and squawky (good examples in this video).
