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.

Extensive introduction presented in Polish, German, and English. This edition of the works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz is based on critically examined sources. The aim of the edition is to present the composer's original text as authentically as possible. This is not an easy task. The source materials of Karlowicz's music are very diverse in nature. Apart from most of the songs, the composer prepared for printing and published in his lifetime the following: Serenade for string orchestra Op. 2, Prelude and Fugue Op. 5, Concerto in A major for violin and orchestra Op. 8, Returning Waves Op. 9 and Eternal Songs Op. 10. Being highly experienced in writing for a symphony orchestra, and knowledgeable in the modern method of instrumentation in the neoromantic style, he prepared his scores with great care. The remaining symphonic poems were not published before the composer's death; and theRebirth Symphony, the manuscript of which miraculously survived the ravages of World War II, was issued only in 1993, as part of the present Complete Works edition. During this war the autographs of the most compositions by Karlowicz, including all his symphonic poems (except for The Sorrowful Tale), were lost. The present publication, therefore, is based as a rule on the first editions, compared with extant autographs or authorized copies of the scores. The amendments of misprints or self-evident mistakes on the part of the composer are not indicated graphically in the text but referred to in the Editorial Notes.
