Bryce Dessner's Reponse Lutoslawski was co-commissioned by the National Audiovisual Institute of Poland and the Mexico National Orchestra and first performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra at Teatr Wielki-Polish National Opera in Warsaw, Poland on November 29 2014. Composer's Note: Reponse Lutoslawski was written as an homage to Witold Lutoslawski's amazing composition for string orchestra, Musique funebre. I spent months studying the score and recordings of the work as well as many of his other pieces. This was an amazing process of discovering one of the 20th-centuries great musical minds and allowing his adventurous spirit to influence my own musical decisions.My Reponse Lutoslawski is written in five movements, each of which is inspired either directly or indirectly by the Lutoslawski score. I like to think that his music opened a window in a certain direction for me, or pushed open a door, through which I could then pass and take my journey with the music. Duration: Approximately 20 minutes.

The present collection has been compiled for descant recorder. This instrument was ousted from use in the age of the Viennese Classics, and it has regained its rights only in the present century. This explains why the collection comprises-in addition to new Hungarian music-almost exclusively Renaissance and Baroque works. As it is well known, the masters of old times put down their works only in outline, and the music has to be reconstructed by a practised performer. This collection is intended to help in assimilating the spirit of these old styles. All the old works are given here in both their original and ornamented variants. The ornamentations have been taken over fromcontemporaneous arrangements, and where none were available, we worked them out on the basis of contemporaneous performing practice. All the solutions serve only as suggestions with his expanding stylistic knowledge the student himself should also boldly invent and extemporize ornamentation! Die vorliegende Sammlung ist für Sopran-Blockflöte zusammengestellt. Dieses Instrument wurde zur Zeit der Wiener Klassiker aus der Praxis verdrängt und erlangte erst in diesem Jahrhundert wieder seine Rechte. Dies erklärt die Zusammensetzung unserer Sammlung, die außer der neuen ungarischen Musik fast ausschließlich Werke der Renaissance und des Barocks enthält. Es ist allgemein bekannt, daß die alten Meister ihre Musik nur skizzenhaft notierten, und die berufenen Interpreten sollen ihre Werke rekonstruieren. Der Zweck der Sammlung ist: hilfreich die Aneignung des Geistes der alten Stile zu fördern. Wir bringen alle alten Werke in der ursprünglichen und verzierten Variante.Die Ornamente wurden aus zeitgenössischen Bearbeitungen genommen, und wo solche uns nicht zur Verfügung standen, wurden die Ornamente aufgrund der zeitgenössischen Vortragspraxis ausgearbeitet. Diese Lösungen sind lediglich Vorschläge.
