The, in 1973 composed, “Trois Pièces pour piano” (Three Pieces for Piano), which honour the composers Darius Milhaud, Francis Poluleric and Fréderic Chopin were commissioned by the German Chopin Society. They had their premiere in 1974 during the Chopin Festival in Weimar. The Russian pianist Ludmilla Lyssenko was the first artist to present this work to the public.
Siegfried Stöckigt recorded the compositions for the “Mitteldeutschen Rundfunk” (Middle German Radio), while Hiroshi Tajika played them for Paris Radio and Christoph Taubert was the pianist for the record, which was issued in Moscow on event of the Tschaikowski Competition in 1978. With Ulrike Gottlebe at the piano, the composition rang out through the “Gewandhaus” in Leipzig in 1982 and Franziska Wilka presented the music to the public at an EPTA-Congress in Norway.
The “Trois Pièces pour piano” was published in various editions by the publisher Peters in Leipzig in 1974 and were examination pieces for Contemporary Music for Piano at the international Robert Schumann Competition in Zwickau. After a pause of 30 years, the author has rewritten the middle part of the chromatic etude. The atonal passage is replaced by a motive from Chopin, which is intended to underline its homage to Chopin.
The reason for the amendments, is the publication of this work in the Helm-Baynov Verlag in Kempten. To avoid any irritation when comparing the new edition with earlier versions, which are the basis of several radio recordings, the amended passage can be found clearly marked in an appendix of the new edition.
