The title hidden tracks is ambiguous. First of all, the piece is almost throughout imagined as 'multi-track', with layers (in the sense of sound tracks) that partly overlay each other, partly suddenly appear from the background. The composition deals with 'hidden' lines, sounds at the perception threshold, with side effects of the accordion sound which -observed, so to speak, under a compositional 'microscope' - develop a special allure: that is the vertical component. The title has also a horizontal meaning: a 'hidden track' is a piece on a record without a track number that is not mentioned on the cover either. In most cases, a 'hidden track' follows after a longer break after the (presumably) last piece on the record; often this track contains strange sounds, noise or other surprising elements. 'Hidden tracks' are surrounded by a nimbus of the mysterious and subversive. This effect is being used rather often throughout the piece: again and again, it seems to have ended but continues after a pause. The expectation of the listener and the attentiveness also for the tiniest events rises; the performance receives an almost scenic character. hidden tracks was partly composed in August 2008 during a stay at the Kunstlerhaus Lukas in Ahrenshoop at the shores of the Baltic Sea. The work was accompanied by many walks on the beach - again and again, I caught a sight on tracks in the sand that became overlaid by other tracks, wiped out by the wind and the waves...

The dances originally written by Franz Schubert for piano sound equally well on the accordeon. The well-known Hungarian accordeon player and teacher László Ernyei took advantage of this opportunity when he selected and transcribed for this volume the pieces best suited to his instrument. Included among the many Ländler, waltzes and écossaises are a number of well-known melodies from Dreimäderlhaus. Die ursprünglich für Klavier komponierten Tänze von Franz Schubert klingen auch auf dem Akkordeon sehr gut. Diese einladende Möglichkeit nutzte der anerkannte ungarische Akkordeonist und Lehrer, László Ernyei, als er für diesen Band die zum Instrument am besten passenden Stücke auswählte und bearbeitete. Unter den vielen Ländler, Walzer und Écossaiseslassen sich auch die bekannte Melodien des Dreimäderlhaus' wiedererkennen.

The music by Mr. Trojan for Trnkas's film The Emperor's Nightingale, of 1948, was so successful and musically autonomous that it was made by the composer not only into an orchestral suite but into a number of effective separate instrumental turns as well. Even this suite for violin, guitar and accordion has become highly popular.
