Agnieszka Panasiuk:
Ludus tonalis, "Tonal Games", has a similar structure to Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier and combines the tradition of Baroque polyphony with 20th-century style. It was created during the composer’s stay in the United States – where he was lecturing in composition at Yale University – and was a great success; the first impression published in 1943 sold out quickly.
