... Back at home, at the instrument, I put myself in a relaxed state and connect inwardly with the place in question. Music emerges, I let it flow, give it form, give it time and space. IT plays, I just let it happen.In each piece I start from a theme characteristic of the corresponding place and then let the music unfold freely. Nothing is written down. The only thing that counts is the place, its music and the play in the here and now.The 17 places:Engelberg, Ridges on the Stoos, Comologno: La Barca, Grosser Mythen, Above Brione sopra Minusio, Juf, Grimsel, The Silsersee, The Caumasee near Flims, By the Lac des Tailleres, The Murg Lakes, St. Ursanne, The Giessbach Falls, The Klimsenkapelle, By Lavertezzo, Creux-du-Van, By the Castle of Leuk.

These two books of piano pieces arranged in progressive order of difficulty are the first collection to give a representative survey of contemporary Greek music. No pretensions of completeness are being made. The piece by Skalkottas is the only one that has been published before, and I am indebted to the Universal Edition, Vienna, for their kind permission to republish it.The younger generation of Greek composers have turned away from their national folklore, which is in evidence in just a few works only as a latent force. Some of the composers were introduced to modern techniques by the outstanding teacher Jannis A. Papaioannou and have gone abroad to complete their knowledge of the latest methods and to integrate them into their personal style. Older composers like Poniridy and Konstantinidis are represented by works of artfully stylized folk music.I should like to acknowledge the advice and help given to me by my friend and colleague Jannis A. Papaioannou, as well as to the American Director of the Gennadeios Library, Francis R. Walton, for generously providing the manuscript of the piece by Mitropoulos. (Gunther Becker).

Auf leisen Sohlen kommt der 'Clown', das 'Kristall' ist erstarrt, und doch inwendig voller Schonheit, 'Fuchsien' bluhen in aller Stille und haben doch auch ihre eigene Musik, der 'Blick in die Ferne' hat seinen Klang, und: Wie tont das 'Geheimnis'?

Diese 52 kurzen Stucke bieten den Spielenden vielfaltige Moglichkeiten, sich selbst musikalisch-kreativ einzubringen. Es geht etwa darum, eine Melodie weiterzufuhren, einem Rhythmus musikalische Gestalt zu verleihen, uber einen Bass zu improvisieren, kurze Stucke zu transponieren oder einzelne Takte wie Puzzleteile zu einem Stuck zusammenzufugen. Manchmal geht es aber auch nur darum, etwas wegzulassen, und manchmal muss man auch gar nichts tun: Man spielt das Stuck wie notiert. Auf zu einer faszinierenden Entdeckungsreise!
