consisting of a flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, piano, percussion, and strings. Little is known about this Suite, and its score must be considered lost. Freiheiter describes its sound technique as closely akin to the Strauss Variations, Op. 23, explaining that ‘harmonies supplement the notes that are missing from the melody, so as to make up a twelve-note row’ (‘Józef Koffler’,Muzyka 7–12 (1936), 86).
In March 1936 Koffler consulted Adolf Chybiński by mail concerning a commission for ‘a suite of Polish songs and dances’ received from ‘one of the largest publishers’. Koffler sent Chybiński a twelve-note setting of ‘the Janosik tune from Mierczyński’s collection (No. 23)’ and of yet another folk melody, with a request for advice. The musical content of these ‘samples’ and Chybiński’s response are unknown, though.
