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...

This volume of accordion studies is related to the material used in the first few years of tuition. As a polyphonic instrument, the accordion draws its material mainly from the piano literature. For this reason we are providing learners with piano studies, which we have adapted only to the extent demanded by the accordion. Instead of soulless practising, endless repetition of studies, we recommend transposing the exercises into as many keys as possible. This will greatly increase their value and usefulness for development.

Das vorliegende Heft der Akkordeon-Etuden knupft sich an den Lehrstoff der ersten Unterrichtsjahre. Das Akkordeon als polyphones Musikinstrument schopft sein Material vor allem aus der Klavierliteratur. Deshalb geben wir den Schulern Klavieretuden in die Hand, die wir lediglich den Anforderungen des Akkordeons anpassten. Anstelle eines unbeseelten Etudenspiels, eines endlosen Wiederholens der Etuden empfehlen wir, die Ubungen in moglichst viele Tonarten zu transponieren. Ihr Lernwert und ihr Nutzen wachsen somit um ein Vielfaches.

The transcription of the Sinfonietta remains as closely to the original as possible while fully exploring the accordion's possibilities of registration, tonal colouring and playing techniques. The rhapsodic first movement and the dance-like, virtuoso second movement, so contrasting in character and yet so consistent in their compositional devices, are perfectly suited to this versatile instrument.
