The guest at the second piano was Janusz Olejniczak, who portrayed Chopin on film and later supplied the piano performances for The Pianist.
Jagodziński turns their closing Butterfly Étude into a ragtime joke, setting a celebrated classical Chopin interpreter loose inside the trio’s world.

The classical side contains only the source pieces used on the album, in album order. The jazz side presents the complete album whenever a dependable copy can be embedded.
The original two-disc edition repeats the C-minor Polonaise three times: once by the trio, once as Janusz Olejniczak’s solo performance, and once by the trio again. The classical player presents the eight distinct Chopin source works once each, in first-appearance order.
