Similarly to Bach's cycle The Well-Tempered Clavier or to Chopin's 24 Preludes, and similarly to his own collection published in 2019, the Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, Péter Wolf penned 24 piano pieces again. His Jazz Preludes set examples for improvisation and make use of the entire stylistic spectrum of jazz, ranging from the gospel (“Anthem, No. 7â€) to blues (“Windlass, No. 1â€), bebop (“Crime, No. 11â€), Latin jazz (“Tropical Night, No. 6â€), and, of course, the world of ballads (“Nostalgia, No. 4†and “Question Without Answer, No. 16â€). The individual movements are no mere style exercises or piano technique exercises but, like Debussy's preludes, they are expressive character pieces: musical images of a phenomenon, an emotion, a behavior pattern, a personal experience reflected by their titles.

In his Sonata, Peter Wolf puts his style well-known from the character pieces of his previous piano series (Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, Jazz preludes) in the service of a demanding form. We can recognize the style that can be traced back to jazz and Bartok, the characters that tap like a toccata or swirl like perpetual motion, the singing lyrical melodies or even such playful turns as the baroque musette-like episode of the slow movement. Like Wolf's previous piano works, this multi-faceted composition, which sets high standards in terms of instrumental technique, was inspired by the outstanding pianist Jozsef Balog and gives the impression of his individuality as a performer.

Péter Wolf's collection Wolf-temperiertes Klavier, published in 2018, referring to the series The Well-Tempered Clavier by Bach, contains 24 piano pieces, a major and a minor key composition based on each pitch of the chromatic scale. The ninth piece, an Adagioin E major, is one of the gems in the volume, building on the tradition of the Baroque pastorale. This soaring melody has been arranged by the composer to a duet: above the piano accompaniment, it can be performed by a violin or a flute (either by an oboe or other melodic instrument).

Mikrotonalitat ist eines der faszinierendsten Themen der Musik des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts. Sie greift ins Innerste der Musik ein, indem sie das zwolftonig temperierte Tonsystem der 'klassischen' Tradition nicht nur erweitert, sondern radikal herausfordert und mogliche Alternativen bietet. Der Band versammelt Beitrage des Internationalen Kongresses Mikrotonalitat - Praxis und Utopie 2011 in Stuttgart. Im Dialog von Musikern, Komponisten, Theoretikern und Wissenschaftlern werden Kern- und Extrempunkte einer Tradition von Mikrotonalitat herausgearbeitet. Dabei zeigen sich 'alte' und 'neue' Musik, zeitgenossische Komposition und historische Auffuhrungspraxis, zuweilen auch aussereuropaische Perspektiven in erstaunlicher Weise vermittelt.
