The Symphony in B minor of 1905 is Kashperovas grandest composition, revisited by her in 1909 in order to transform the orchestral original into a large-scale concert work for solo piano. She may well have been prompted in this direction by Balakirev with whom she worked in close collaboration during the last two years of his life: in 1908 she gave the premiere of Balakirev's Second Piano Sonata, and in 1909 she gave the first performance of his Second Symphony in the composer's four-hand piano transcription alongside conductor/pianist Sergei Lyapunov. No record of a public performance of the Piano Symphony has been uncovered to date but Kashperova surely presented the work privately at her regular musical soirées in her St Petersburg apartment. The publication of the Piano Symphony as part of Dr Graham Griffiths's Kashperova Edition is a major rediscovery of a work which can now take its place alongside the symphonic solo keyboard works of Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Alkan.

Ideophonies is a collection of pieces that are partially written in a conventional manner, where everything is fully notated, but they are enriched with short improvisational sections. In these sections, the performer, based on the given scale or mode, has the opportunity to create their own melody to the pre-written left-hand accompaniment. Most importantlyif the performer does not have an idea for their own original melody or does not yet feel confident enough to create one, each Ideophony includes an improvisational section at the end with a ready-made melodic suggestion that can be incorporated into the entire composition. Therefore, these pieces can be treated as fully notated compositions or as a basis for adding one's own ideas.

My Third Piano Sonata was written as a commission for a piano competition sponsored by the Kulturkreis der deutschen Industrie (Cultural Circle of the German Industry). The winner of this competition, the young Brazilian pianist Fabio Martino, premiered it on 9 October 2011 in Essens Philharmonie. Like my Second Sonata, the work is in one movement but, with a duration of ca. ten minutes, of smaller format. The pianistic demands, however, are comparable. This is also true of the form that, in turn, is not based on the dualistic principle that characterizes the classical sonata form, but rather on the principle of the “permanent development.” After a calm, freely fashioned, quasi “improvisational” introduction, the first elements of a tonal structure establish themselves at the beginning of the main section (quick tempo) in fast pendulum motions of minor and major seconds. This is made up of a total of thirty notes, divided into four groups of tones of different length out of which result the chords that essentially constitute the piece. Also in the translation of the tonal structure into a temporal structure (arrays of measures), the process resembles that employed in the Parita. The main part is divided into several sections and, analogous to this, passes through various stages of expression. Out of the alternation of the playful-virtuoso and lyrical-restrained moments as well as of the dramatic outbursts and an excessive intensification (toward the end), a form arises in which perhaps something of the “most intensity-rich human world in music,” as Ernst Bloch put it, is expressed, which was and is my primary goal in my works. - York Höller

The publication contains three waltzes composed by Juliusz Zarebski (1854–1885) in the years 1883–1885: Valse sentimentale op. 17, Valse-Caprice op. 24 and Valse op. 30. Zarebski's graceful, rather simple Waltzes op. 17 and 30 reveal their salon provenance.
Zarebski proposed in his works (especially in op. 17) very rich pedalling, often combining related harmonies and figurations following through neighbouring registers of the instrument. Due to differences in construction between 19th century and contemporary pianos, the musical effect of faithful application of the composer's pedalling would perhaps not correspond to his intentions - hence the proposals for additional changes to the pedal given in brackets. The edition also corrected textual errors of the first editions and proposed fingering.
