Sonatinas and mazurkas for piano, written in the 20th century by Polish composers, are the two pillars of the presented album. An original combination of ten charming compositions was proposed by Ezzbieta Karas-Krasztel.

'Listening to the compositions recorded on the album, it is hard to resist the impression that forms and genres already deeply rooted in the history of music come to life in fascinating shots, and the richness of their world encourages careful listening to the nuances of Elzbieta Karas-Krasztel's interpretation.' - Karolina Kolinek-Siechowicz

A creative approach to the sonata form, on the example of works by Aleksander Tansman (Transatlantic Sonatina), Tadeusz Szeligowski (Sonatina), Kazimierz Serocki (Sonatina), Artur Malawski (Highlander Triptych) or Romuald Twardowski (Sonata breve), allows us to observe the metamorphoses that this the canonical genre of music succumbed. On the other hand, selected mazurkas by Ignacy Friedmann from 1912 and post-war mazurkas by Witold Friemann, Andrzej Dutkiewicz, Marian Borkowski and Marian Sawa 'constitute a representative sample of 20th-century arrangements of this dance - not only as a form with a characteristic rhythm, but also as a certain idea related to with all the associations.
