The "Chrzaszcz-Trio" was composed in the summer of 1986 for colleagues of Cambridge University and premiered in Warsaw in the same year. "The Polish word Chrzascz (pronounced: shonshtsh) means "grasshopper" and was chosen as a title due to the wide "leaping" intervals and the abrupt rhythmical gestures present in the work " (quoted from the preface). This composition is short and not too difficult to realize.
