Hommage à Győrgy Kurtág is intended as a cycle of 21 miniatures, therefore in a concert performance of the whole piece their order should be exactly followed. It is possible, however, to make a selection from all 21 pieces, and then the performers set up the order of selected pieces. In no case the order of numbering and positions of the selected pieces may be replaced. Thus the piece no. 21, if included in selection, should always finish the selected version, and the piece no.1, if not excluded, should always be placed at the opening position. The piece no. 17 may not be performed before the piece no. 10, etc. The score in its graphic design is intended to serve as the performing material for both players.
