This work can be understood as the daily diary entries of a piano composer in an unusual situation. Suitable for elementary and advanced piano study as well as for concert performance. Selections vary from simple, easy to demanding short poetic pieces. Some are of didactic and some of minimalistic nature. Inspirational in the development of independence in interpretive decision-making.W P: 21.03.1985 Tilburg (NL) Barbara HellerCONTENT Ein Zug fahrt ab..., Perpetuum, Schmerz: Energie verebbt, Anklange, ...niemand weiss..., Schwebend, Einwurf, Verwirrung, fruher (vormals), ...und..., Erinnerung (Kindheit: schwarz-weiss), good night, Triangel, Courante, This chord, Anruf aus Rom, slow (langsam), im Traum..., Tagtraum, Aus der Ferne, Einfall, Ratsel, Bruchstucke, Fermate, Ein Versuch, Ein Zeichen.

Within this work Heller already establishes herself as a composer who possesses and demonstrates a clear sense of form, as well as a feel for creating arcs of tension and contrasts. The work is pianistically challenging, even though it fits the hands well. It requires, in particular, careful listening with regard to the structures and harmonic sequences. This thoroughly entertaining piece of music is set to benefit both up-and-coming musicians and concert pianists, and deserves to be included in the standard repertoire. The piano suite composed in 1956 by the 20 year-old Barbara Heller is a major accomplishment. Within this work Heller already establishes herself as a composer who possesses and demonstrates a clear sense of form, as well as a feel for creating arcs of tension and contrasts. Stylistically, the work belongs to the moderate modernist trend, which arose sometime after Hindemith. However, this piano suite has charms of its own; at times it is the emphatic shaping of phrases, which bring about moments of dissonance and occasionally, it is the harsh and unwilling gestures. The charm of this piece also lies within its deep-rooted earnestness and its frequent seasoning of humour.

A collection of long and short piano pieces all of which were inspired by the interval of the fifth. This limitation leads to very unusual tonal colouring. The titles: Blue, Yellow etc., indicate the attempt to convert colours into music. Some pieces from this cycle have sucessfully established themselves within the teaching literature for intermediate students. Very easy (Pink Fifths), moderately difficult and difficult (Blue Fifths).WP: 22.04.1990 Heidelberg Otfried MillerCONTENT Blaue Quinten, gelbe Quinten, unter-brochene Quinten, Rosa Quinten (Version I) und Rosa Quinten - Erinnerungen eines Seerosen-blattes (Ver-sion II), Orange Quinten, Schwanken-de Quinten, Quintenlied, Quinten: 2 links, 2 rechts (2 Versionen), Neujahrsquinten fur D.
