Simon (Polish: Szymon) Laks, born in Warsaw in 1901, had worked in Paris since 1926, where he stood out as one of the most importantrepresentatives of Polish modernism in the context of the Groupe de Six and the Ecole de Paris. Promoted by Szymanowski and inspiredby Ravel, he amalgamated neoclassicism of French provenance with elements of Polish folk music tradition and influences from jazz. Laks work was dramatically interrupted by internment and deportation. He survived Auschwitz as a member and leader of a camp chapel, to which he gave poignant testimony in his book Music in Auschwitz (978-3-7931-4082-5). The piano pieces, which were createdindependently of one another and are summarized as a cycle in this volume, reflect the stylistic range of Laks oeuvre, his typical juggling with the levels E and U and his own profound sense of humor. Simon Lak's 'oeuvre, which is attracting increasing international attention, is published exclusively by Boosey & Hawkes.
