The composer wrote of his work as follows: In the music of Hungary, folk songs are manifestly of great importance, on the other hand our ancient airs and dances play a modest role. For this work I have been influenced by dances of the 17th century, written by unknown amateurs in a relatively simple style. Most of these dances were recorded between the 14th and 18th centuries under the usual form of tablature notation. My interest in this music was first captured in the 1940s. I was so fascinated that I decided to give these melodies new life. I fitted the little eight-bar dances together into ternary and rondo forms, and leaning on early Baroque harmony and counterpoint, I attempted a reminiscence of that atmosphere of the provincial Hungarian Baroque.

As part of the year 2023, dedicated to Swiss composers, the Swiss Wind Band Association has commissioned Gauthier Dupertuis to write a new orchestration of the Overture in E-flat major by Stephan Jaeggi. Indeed, an update of the instrumentation was necessary for the interpretation of this work with modern orchestras. Therefore, the orchestration that Gauthier Dupertuis proposes and which he wanted to be faithful to the original while meeting current standards, will allow todayÂ’s orchestras to perform this piece of classical-romantic inspiration. Stephan Jaeggi was a Swiss composer and conductor who was born into a large family in Fulenbach (Canton of Solothurn) in 1903. He began playing the clarinet at the age of 13, then studied music at the Basel Conservatory and attended his military training with the Swiss Army Band. Thereafter, he became the conductor of several wind orchestras. In this role, and also that of a composer, Stephan Jaeggi went on to achieve great success. His early death in 1957 put a premature end to Stephan Jaeggi's creative life. All the more reason why his work lives on with unbroken power to this day.

Nobody, premiered at the music festival Heidelberger Frühling in 2022, was written by Johannes Boris Borowski for Trio Catch. According to the composer, the work, which lasts a good quarter of an hour, “appears in playful, dreamy lightness. The surrounding atmosphere is tender and optimistic. However, a tragic and existential undertone becomes perceptible, in which the foreboding of theabsurd and horrific of life flares up time and again.†The composition, divided into six short prologues and the actual piece, is based on verses by Emily Dickinson, in which the poles of melancholy, rapture, tenderness and abysmalness are given archetypical expression and which, in their simple, yet visionary style of writing, perfectly correspond to Borowski's modern musical language. There are passages with brief interjections of other language levels in the poetic text, especially fragments and phrases from populist rhetoric, as well as vulgar and violent language.
