From the liner notes:
On this album entitled
"Breathed Prayer", I have selected – in a subjective way – my favourite
compositions of Csaba Vedres' five albums released up to 2003. That is the
explanation of the subtitle on the cover: The editor’s favourites. In addition,
Csaba gave me a complex composition of 10 short piano works, that have not fit
to any of his former CDs. He thought that the "List of free ideas" did not fit
to the concept of the earlier albums, but it could become integral part of this
selection. His music makes you think all the time about: loneliness – social
impressions, love – affection, faith – human fragility, birth – passing away,
peace – lack of patience, true respect of art – snobbery. Having listened to
this selection, Csaba told me that I succeeded in selecting the saddest 70
minutes of the "Vedres' life-work". My way of thinking on certain matters is
surely similar to the artist's ideas: we both are socially sensitive, we wish a
better world, peace, quality life to all of us and try to leave some sensinble
heritage and print for the future generations. We do hope that this CD
contributes to this intention.

The 10 interesting oeuvres of the
"List of free" ideas can perhaps be better understood with the help of the words
of Sándor Weöres:
"...I have always had an instinct of magpie: to take away or to steal what I need
at the moment, what I was attracted by, as the magpie carries the bright
rong and pieces of glasses... It is different to take something without
originality. If you simply take something as a pray from
your neighbor and put it in a worse position or discolour it, it is really a bad
abd objectionable plagiarism. But I believe that the type of plagiarism is
absolutely necessary when you take from the good oeuvres or bad ones, from the
shop signs, from the words of hit-songs, or from anywhere the parts that attract
you and give them another light and another brightness in your own work."
