Their universal character makes them remain alive in various forms of music-making, regardless of time or place. Piano arrangements of occasional songs aim to preserve this heritage in an accessible and artistically developed form. The piano, as an instrument with an exceptionally wide sound scale and versatile performance possibilities, allows capturing both the simplicity and emotional depth of folk and traditional songs.

This collection of arrangements aims not only to reflect the original character of the works but also to enrich them with new sound values.
