Publication of György Kurtág's string chamber music is a long-awaited event: his chamber music master courses and the recording made by the Orlando Trio have aroused considerable interest in these works worldwide. The first three volumes contain pieces for violin (Z. 14220), for viola (Z. 14221) and for string trio (Z. 14223). As our title - Signs, Games and Messages - suggests, they include compositions of varying length written for different types of occasion: musical 'letters', tributes and playful experiments in instrumental technique.

Die Herausgabe von György Kurtágs Kammermusik für Streicher stellt ein lang ersehntes Ereignis dar: Die von ihm veranstalteten Meisterkurse und die Schallplattenaufnahme desOrlando Trios lösten gegenüber diesen Werken weltweites Interesse aus. Zunächst erscheinen drei Hefte, die Stücke für Violine (Z. 14220), für Bratsche (Z. 14221) und für Streichtrio (Z. 14223). Wie auch ihr Titel - Zeichen, Spiele und Botschaften - erahnen lässt, finden sich in ihnen Kompositionen unterschiedlichen Ausmasses und zu verschiedenen Anlässen: musikalische ‚Briefe', Hommagen und instrumententechnische Spielereien.

The premiere of the chamber music work written at the end of 1987 was given in August 1989 in Manchester. With its fast-slow-fast sequence of movements and the manner of its formation this piece of about 17 minutes duration follows to some extent classical models. Characteristic of its musical expression is, however, an individual mixture of the varied recollections of genre and mood. The success of the composition has been proved in numerous performances.

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).
