I wish I could; I'd like to know as well  ;D
It all happens on Discworld, where greed and ignorance influence human behavior... and perfectly ordinary people occasionally act like raving idiots.

A world, in short, totally unlike our own.

i've been looking for you and wish that i had the score to just look at.  listened to the first one ('des abends') and found it on a level 8 (9 being professional pianist) according to www.music-scores.com/piano/composer.php?pageNum_composer=28&totalRows_composer=530

according to www.edexcel.org.uk/VirtualContent/48910/web_version.pdf

'warum' is about grade 7
