The textbook written by Krzysztof Trebunia-Tutka is the first so comprehensive a publication in Poland which focuses on highlander music. It consists of 3 volumes: A Handful of Theory, Fingering Notation and Stave Notation, as well as the recordings, which should be studied by those who want to explore the secrets of highlander music. Krzysztof Trebunia-Tutka gathered songs transmitted from generation to generation by oral tradition, which were inherently impossible to notate. Thanks to that, a rich highlander tradition gains a new life. The textbook is suitable for beginners who just start their adventure with highlander music, people experienced in that kind of traditional music, as well as for the admirers of the highlander culture. What is particularly worthy of noticing is the original notation of melody - the so-called fingering notation - which is an attempt to notate the music by the fingering system and performance directions. The author straightforwardly explains the nuances of the highlander culture, delineates its history and the most important figures. The publication includes practical hints about fingering, holding the instrument and the bow, and the interpretation of the melody. The score is divided into 10 groups, and each song has its equivalent in fingering and stave notation. It is also a peculiar anthology of the most important and the most beautiful highlander melodies and tunes, often already forgotten or rarely performed. Beautiful graphic design is a modern rendition of the framework of highlander tradition. The employment of high-quality linen and strands provides comfort while using the volumes - it is also a guarantee of durability. Similar to that of the tradition.

Re-release of a collection first issued in PWM's early years. It consists of 9 works that are artistic arrangements of the most beautiful Polish folk melodies from various regions in which simple melody and rhythm are often combined with a sophisticated harmonic setting. On account of the low level of technical difficulty, these pieces can be used by pupils of the music primary school. The publication is released in the year of Professor Jan Ekier's 100th birthday and is preceded by an introduction by Aneta Teichman - the author of a comprehensive monograph on the eminent Professor (currently in preparation for publication). The graphic design for the collection refers to the aesthetic of PWM's publications of the 1940s; the cover together with our decorative logo is a copy of the cover of J. Ekier's ''Lullaby'' - the third score published in the history of PWM. The disc included in the publication is realised using material derived from archive recordings from Polish Radio. Piano Jan Ekier.
