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].

Framtiden ter sig mer oviss an nagonsin, och vi kan inte langre blunda for vad vi gor mot varandra och var moder jord. Vi behover vacka karleken till Jordens skonhet - angarna och traden, alvarna och haven, alla de markliga djuren och manniskorna. Da kan vi gripas av passion, fordjupa var kansla for det gudomliga i tillvaron och kanna samhorighet med planeten och alla dess invanare. Det ar ett under att vi lever, och att jorden ar sa god!

Detta korverk ar ett samarbete mellan tva av vara mest valkanda kompositorer/ latskrivare. Har har de motts i ett gemensamt sprak, dar tonerna foljer texternas rytmer, och dar Karin Liungmans ord far sin tyngd och betydelse genom Georg Riedels kongeniala musik.

The Four Quartets op. 92 were composed in 1884 during Brahms' summer's stay in Murzzuschlag (Styria). The opening piece, however, was a revision of an earlier vocal quartet composed in 1877. Brahms had announced this to his friend Elisabeth von Herzogenberg on 13 November 1877 as a bad joke on music paper with which he was reacting to her reproach regarding an earlier lied (op. 71 No. 4) with an ironic text insertion before the beginning of the reprise. In the revision of 1884, Brahms significantly changed the C-major middle section especially. In the present edition's appendix, the early version of O schone Nacht! is disclosed for rediscovery in comparison with the version published as op. 92 no. 1. The quartets were published on 1 December 1884 by Simrock, one week later, the first public performance of the work took place in the Large Gurzenich Hall in Cologne. The pieces found their primary target audience, however, in private performances as domestic music. Even today, they recommend themselves for smaller choral scorings or ensembles with piano accompaniment. The night-time melancholic text selection with works by Daumer, Hebbel and Goethe seems fit for these.

With the “Fingertip Dances”, Gerald Resch joins a long tradition of composers who have written pieces for their own children and, in so doing, have immersed themselves in childlike worlds of images and experiences. Mila, Gerald Resch's daughter and the dedicatee of the “Fingertip Dances”, received them as a special present for her ninth birthday: she is able to call her own these thirteen little pieces that have gained considerable attention through their variety of musical ideas and pianistic challenges. Following the original version for piano (SIK 1708), a selection of eight pieces for youth ensemble is now available as part of the edition series “exempla nova – for the young.” Gerald Resch arranged these eight pieces of the (13) “Fingertip Dances” in response to a commission of the “Brücken-Festival” in Mürzzuschlag 2015. All text in German.
