Witaj Reksio! (Hello Reksio!) for two pianos is a collection of short music pieces for young performers. A few titles included in it refer to the themes from the well-known TV series for children, created by Lechoslaw Marszalek in the Animated Film Studi on Bielsko-Biala. The main hero is a very popular character in Poland: a nice dog Reksio who, together with his friends, has accompanied the successive generations, entertaining and educating them. The collection also comprises pieces that do not directly refer to the series. I hope the music will stir the listeners' imagination and will communicate all that the young performers want to tell them with their instruments. I wish all young friends interesting interpretation of my music. I also hope that you will create new interesting music stories that will be played and listened to with great joy. [Zenon Kowalowski].

Volume VII/2 of Weber's Complete Works contains all of Carl Maria von Weber's extant, independent sets of variations for solo piano.Weber's piano variations were considered by contemporary music critics to be amongst the most successful compositions in this field.

They stand before us with a definite personality, showing us in each variation a new side to their character, a new characteristic situation from their life. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries.

Variations, Nocturne & Finale On An English Sea-Song for Piano and Orchestra Op.60. Orchestral part arranged for a second Piano by David Lyon.
After a brief introduction to the Orchestra, the melody of an eighteenth century whalermen's ballad with verse and refrain 'Blow Ye Winds', is given out, the verse by the Piano, the refrain divided between Orchestra and Piano. Then follow thirteen variations, the last three being pianistic etudes, accompanied Orchestrally. The nocturne evokes the nostalgia of a long voyage and the finale the excitement, dangers and glory of a triumphant chase. In these movements, as well as in the variations, the entiremusical material is derived from the basic theme. The work is designed as a virtuoso concert-piece for the pianist, with supporting Orchestral flashes of colour and points of contrast.
