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.

Ferran Cruixent's “Binary†was commissioned by the ARD International Music Competition. The work is dedicated to a 56k Modem device. The world premiere was given during the course of the competition on 8 September 2015 at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater (University of Music and Performing Arts) in Munich. “Binary†for two pianos is a one-movement work, inspired by the composer's fascination about the dangers in human dependence in technological business, such as the obsession about media in today's mechanized and computerized society. The name Binary refers to a digital representation of text and data, whose unit can take only two possible states. Binary code is a mathematical, technological language, developed by ourselves: an organic language that creates another to be described and discovered for itself. In this piece the players are asked to play in special techniques, such as “Cyber Singing†(introduced 2010 in composer's symphonic work “Cyborgâ€). “Cyber Singing†introduces a new musical technique: the audio file prepared by the composer himself is played by themusician from his mobile phone, a device commonly used for other purposes. So, it defines a new possibility of interaction between the composer and the musician, attaining genuine communication itself.

Composed in 2015, RINGING CHANGES is in part derived from the fourth movement of Levinson’s Time and the Bell... The essence of that movement is a constantly evolving perpetual-motion single line in fluidly changing rhythmic groupings, and in shifting modes inspired both by Balinese gamelan and North Indian ragas (both authentic and invented), which is now developed in counterpoint. Another version of the original movement also forms the centerpiece of the solo piano work, Ragamalika.

This work was inspired by Kyllonen's trip to Peru in 1984. In the second part (Adagio) there are reflections of the starry sky seen at the Andies 3000 metres above the sea level. In the closing part (Allegro assai) the source of inspiration was the fervent dance rhythm heard by an Indian player at the Machu Picchu.

The Prelude, Hymn And Toccata 1987 is dedicated to, and was commissioned by the Nettle-Markham Piano Duo. It was the second work to have been written for them by the composer, the first being the Sonata For Piano Duet Op.92. This twenty minute work begins with Leighton's typical preludial double-dotted rhythms and contrapuntal textures; it develops into dark, passionate music and erupts into single and double cadenzas. The gentle Hymn is ushered in quietly and unfolds in long, rhapsodic sections, building up to more climactic cadenzas before dissolving gradually to an ethereal conclusion. The Toccata finale shows Leighton's masterly piano writing and contrasts biting, rhythmic motifs with sweeping, yearning elegiac phrases.
