When the mathematically oriented compositional method started losing favour, composers began turning again more strongly to the piano, from the midsixties on, and discovered, as it were, the new poetry of the instrument through effects obtained with harmonics and preparation. For this reason, only a few pieces dating from before 1965 have been selected. Most of the following pieces were composed especially for this anthology. They are arranged in order of increasing difficulty. While the first volume is intended more for the amateur, the second volume presupposes a greater degree of skill. Due to the great number of composers, it was impossible even to pretend to offer a representative cross-section of contemporary German piano music. Several composers had to be excluded because they wrote no notable works for piano. Another criterion influencing the selection of pieces was the effort to present the most varies styles of piano writing possible. Moreover, special notice has been given to the works which display originality, even though their authors are not among the most widely known and marketable musicians of the day.

These two books of piano pieces arranged in progressive order of difficulty are the first collection to give a representative survey of contemporary Greek music. No pretensions of completeness are being made. The piece by Skalkottas is the only one that has been published before, and I am indebted to the Universal Edition, Vienna, for their kind permission to republish it.The younger generation of Greek composers have turned away from their national folklore, which is in evidence in just a few works only as a latent force. Some of the composers were introduced to modern techniques by the outstanding teacher Jannis A. Papaioannou and have gone abroad to complete their knowledge of the latest methods and to integrate them into their personal style. Older composers like Poniridy and Konstantinidis are represented by works of artfully stylized folk music.I should like to acknowledge the advice and help given to me by my friend and colleague Jannis A. Papaioannou, as well as to the American Director of the Gennadeios Library, Francis R. Walton, for generously providing the manuscript of the piece by Mitropoulos. (Gunther Becker).

The present piano anthology makes no pretensions as to being complete. Stylistically it ranges from the heritage of the romantic style to pieces from the post-serial techniques. They are arranged to some extent progressively according to degree of difficulty and style and should afford the player with lesser technique (in Book I) as well as the advanced pianist (in Book II) an insight into the variety of Swiss piano music. Only hitherto unpublished works were accepted into the anthology. Many pieces were written especially for this anthology. A few well-known composers are therefore missing, because they have written either no or too extensive works for piano.
