Jozef Piaček, Elena Kmeťová – Open Realism
Open realism Open realism – words that best describe the compositional principle permeating the works of Marek Piaček.

Falter, 1/2004, Wien:
Es war ein Auswärtsspiel für beide Seiten. Aber diesmal, im vergangenen November, konnte die Slowakei in Wien einen seltenen Prestigesieg über den ewigen Konkurrenten Tschechien erzielen. Das Festival Wien Modem gab einen einwöchigen Überblick über die aktuellen Musikszenen Osteuropas, lud dazu neben Ensembles aus Rumänien oder Bulgarien auch solche aus Tschechien und der Slowakei ein...
