details:

The two concertos for Piano (1976) and Violin (1980) are some of the most interesting works by Krauze. The composer plays here with one of the most fundamental codes of the music of the past: the major-minor tonality. He carries things very far The apparent tonality of the concertos under discussion resorts the links between the notes, and this together with the delicate warmth those works irradiate makes them extremely interesting for an ordinary listener [Elżbieta Szczepańska, Studio, 1998]
