This Sinfionetta contains the basic ingredients of a Symphony, viz. and Allegro, a Scherzo, a slow movement and a final Allegro. These elements are compressed into a one-movement form and the final Allegro is a recapitulation of the first, albeit with considerable variation. There is also a short fugue, for strings alone, between the opening Allegro and the Scherzo, which consolidates the musical ideas used throughout the piece. This work may be played by a chamber ensemble with a string nonet, for which it was originally written, or with a full orchestral string section.

Since most of the bands competing in the 4th Section of the Dutch National Championships have many young players, this piece is stylistically youthful— especially in the opening and closing sections. An arpeggio pattern appears numerous times in all registers and is the basic musical element of the main melody, alternating with a second theme that has a slightly different melodic character. The middle section is conceived like a chorale, introduced and developed stepwise: firstly with short patterns and gradually in increasingly long snippets, until it’s played in its glorious entirety at measure 216. No real solo passages are included but rather small chambercombinations, thus offering the opportunity to various players to display their technical and performance skills. The finale recaptures musical material from the first section of the piece and provides a majestic conclusion. Vermits de meeste bands die aan het jaarlijkse NBK (Nederlandse Brass Band Kampioenschappen) deelnemen veel jonge muzikanten in hun rangen hebben, is dit werk overwegend jeugdig van karakter - vooral in de hoekdelen. Een arpeggio-figuur vormt de basis van het hoofdthema en het verschijnt in alle registers. Een tweede muzikaal gegeven dialogeert met die hoofdmelodie: samen stofferen ze de openingssectie van het werk. Dan volgt een koraalmatig middendeel: stapsgewijs worden korte en nadien steeds langere melodische fragmenten aan elkaar geregen tot de koraal in haar volle pracht integraal weerklinkt aan maat 205. Echte solopassages komen niet voor in dit werk, maar viadiverse kleine kamermuziek-combinaties wordt aan diverse musici de mogelijkheid geboden hun muzikale kwaliteiten te etaleren. In de laatste beweging worden een aantal muzikale bouwstenen van het begindeel hernomen en verder uitgewerkt om dan te besluiten in een majestueus slot.

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 Appleblossom, 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.Tünde Szitha Der ab 1973 für Klavier entstandene Zyklus Spiele war ursprünglich als Klavierschule konzipiert, in deren ersten Bänden Kurtág den Kindern die Grundelemente des Klavierspiels und des musikalischen Denkens, und, was vielleicht noch viel wichtiger ist, des ungezwungenen Musizierens nahebrachte. 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.
