The longest work here is the 11:07 sonata by Grudzinski, a composer known in Poland for writing popular songs, who uses Polish folk melodies and echoes of the same in a work slightly less in the neo-classical line than those by Tansman, Spisak and even, Baird (Slowik's Rumba and Waltz were written for the soloist).
