These world music pieces represent a compositional dialogue between J. S. Bach and non-European music from the Americas, Africa, the Orient, and the Balkans as well as modern music. The richness of detail, transparency and polyphonic structure of Bach's music are also important for the works in this collection. Pianists should not expect jazzy variations of his works. Rather, classical and (late) romantic music, ragtime, jazz, samba, bossa nova, salsa, Balkan, minimal music, pop, gospel, atonal, African and oriental sounds are interwoven with Bach's music, which is quoted and reinterpreted. This might serve as an inspiration to play Bach's piano works as a "counterpoint" to the pieces in this edition.
