Composer Note: I treat the piano as an instrument in no way different from others in the rich music collection. On the one hand, I feel excitedabout, for instance, the possibility to write something in a style of a piano concerto, on the other - I have some doubts about shedding new light or sparking significant impulses from that great three-legged animal without hitting the obvious. But there does exist something lighter - a play, a game, a distorting mirror, reflecting a noble appearance of a fatso. Not refined games, but volatile and smooth treatment of the matter. Not a game on wedges, but in trainers. A wink of an eye at an obese instrument arousing emotions in the listeners and sufferings in young music lovers practising scales and passages. A remedy for continuing to compose for the piano may be a conscious “anti-activity&rdqu o;, presenting current artistic achievements for this instrument as if in a distorting mirror.

We begin with an invitation to discover a work: Sigrid Naumann offers improvisational preliminary exercises that pave the way to the various pieces and are helpful for learning it. The stylistic palette is extraordinarily varied here. The pieces encompass all epochs from Baroque to classical modernity (Bartok, Kabalevsky, Kurtag, B. Heller); in addition, there are also traditionals and pieces from presentday piano pedagogy. Afterwards we distance ourselves again, for the second invitation goes out to the thematically grouped pieces that open up a variety of possibilities for free formative shaping. The new Spielregeln - Spielraume have proven themselves in practice and are supplied with insightful comments.

Explorin g the Rules and the Rooms of the Game Spielregeln - Spielraume (Rules of the Game - Rooms of the Game) is a dual invitation for free music-making at the piano.

Le Boogie-Woogie a fait danser l’Amérique puis l’Europe pendant toute une décennie, au point qu’il est difficile de se représenter les années 30 avec un autre fond musical. Avec Boogie for Piano, le Boogie-Woogie a gardé son cachet original.

Il boogie-woogie ha fatto danzare l’America ed in seguito l’Europa per un decennio, al punto che è difficile immaginarsi gli anni ’30 con un altro sottofondo musicale. Con Boogie for Winds, il boogiewoogie ha conservato il suo carattere originale. Sul CD, ogni brano è dapprima eseguito a titolo dimostrativo. Lo strumento solista può in seguito interpretare i nove brani “in diretta” con l’accompagnamento di un ensemble orchestrale.
