The piano series entitled Games, written from 1973 onwards, was conceived originally as a piano method. Its early volumes introduced children to the basic elements in piano-playing and musical thinking, and, more importantly still, taught them to play music without inhibitions. As the years went by, the view of the series lost its didactic character. It came to be seen as a document from Kurtág's workshop, offering a key to his grander symphonic, chamber and vocal works as well. This change is exemplified in the subtitle Diary entries, personal messages added from the fifth volume onwards. The pieces in the ninth volume date from 1989-2009, except the youthful Apple blossom, written in 1947. The movements, often aphorismic in their briefness, conceal associations with various aspects of European music history. Many of them are hommage or in memoriam pieces, or subjective personal messages to friends, colleagues, beloved family members or students, and thereby to all music-loving people.

Im Zuge der vergangenen Jahrzehnte verlor der Zyklus jedoch seinen didaktischen Charakter und wurde eher zu einem Dokument über die Komponistenwerkstatt Kurtágs, was uns auch einen Schlüssel zu seinen großformatigen symphonischen, Kammer- und Vokalwerken in die Hand gibt. Diese Veränderung wird dadurch angezeigt, dass der Zyklus Spiele ab dem fünften Heft den Untertitel Tagebuchnotizen,persönliche Botschaften trägt.

The 7th volume of Kurtág's outstanding piano miniatures includes 34 of his personal musical notes, messages composed between 1994 and 2002. Just as in the case of the earlier volumes Kurtág dedicates most of these pieces to members of his artistic and intellectual circle of friends, although some of them are homages. 'Hommage á Berényi Ferenc 70' is originally written for cimbalom, but can be played on the piano as well. Some works are intended for an upright piano with harp pedal. (BMC CD 139).
