Suite No. 1 is a hymn to the divinity of the dance. The piece explores all possibilities of extreme rhythm, harmony and orchestration in order to place special emphasis on the piano as a solo instrument with all its possibilities: from percussion instrument to lyric simplicity. At the end, the composer quotes the style of his scores together with the ancient tragedies in an epilogue with prominent signals from the wind section.

In January 1964 Bernd Alois Zimmermann interrupted the completion of his opera Die Soldaten [The Soldiers] in order to rearrange his orchestral work Dialoge for two pianos. Monologe takes up the original material but develops it towards a different direction: Zimmermann's collage technique based on quotations extends over the entire musical setting so that it is not only Mozart (Piano Concerto in C major KV 467) who has his say but Beethoven, Messiaen and Bach as well. Monologe is a piece for two pianists; real monologues of these pianists who, though simultaneously, [...] do not always play at the same time; [...] losing themselves in their own thoughts, as it were. -Zimmermann.

Despite its seemingly sparse texture, this is a large-scale, virtuosic concerto in an expressive tonal idiom, full of memorable rhythmic detail. It was premiered in 1992, 32 years after its composition, by Konrad Richter and Israel Yinon. Their recording for Bayer Records won an important award by German critics. A further recording by Igor Ardasev and Gerd Albrecht is available on Orfeo.
