Henryk Mikolaj Górecki (1933 – 2010) was described as a leading figure of the Polish avant-garde. Starting off as a serialist composer, his style evolved as he experimented with simple modal materials to create monumental structures. His works were also inspired by folk and religious influences.

Suitable for intermediate and advanced players, Piano Album is the first publication of all the extant manuscript solo piano works (miniatures and collections of short pieces). Edited and with a preface (E/G/F) by Anna Górecka, Professor at the Katowice Music Academy and daughter of the composer.
