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].

Thereby they will be able to gain experience in ensemble playing and acquire motivation by playing pieces they might not master on their own yet. For a better orientation in the score, the four symbols from playing cards are assigned to the four parts. Advanced students can also use the arrangements as piano duets - ideal for group lessons and recitals!

Igor Stravinsky's masterpiece Jeu de Cartes is now one of the standard works in the ballet repertoire and is also played more often as a purely concertante orchestral piece. Richard Rijnvos now transcribed the virtuoso piece for 2 pianos, keeping the individual orchestral parts and octaves precisely to maintain the complexity and expressiveness of the neoclassical original.

Here Rheinberger drew on his two-piano arrangement of the Goldberg Variations not only for the choice of instruments, but also for his arrangement technique. At times Mozart's piano part alternates between the two pianos, though usually new parts are added to flesh out the texture harmonically in various ways. Occasionally Rheinberger also adds motivic parts, though never with the same skill or density as in the Goldberg Variations. In this, however, he demonstrates a consummate sense of style precisely by adhering to the compositional fabric of his original models.
