The following multiple programs are built around a centre of gravitation, a main piece in black on white, as centre of 2, 3, or 4 different programs. So each recital consists of the main piece, plus one of the “satellite” single piece or groups of pieces in the surrounding squares.

 

The main piece is mostly in the second part of the recital, sometimes together with the satellite pieces written in italic. Few shorter programs (60’ about) have no intermission.

 

The thematic connections between the pieces are often evident, sometimes more criptic: program notes by the interpreter are always available on request.
