Besides being a composer, Lajos Papp (1935-2019) was also an experienced piano pedagogist, whose didactic compositions have been used widely both in Hungary and abroad. In the 1960s, he taught piano and music theory at music schools in Budapest. He worked predominantly with László Dobszay and Erna Czövek, who also shared the commitment of developing music tuition in Hungary.

Lajos Papp had become interested in pedagogy and put together literature collections for different kinds of instruments, especially for piano. Whilst living in Oldenburg, Germany, Papp wrote his booklet, 22 Little Piano Pieces. In this collection, he indirectly introduces musical phenomena, such as different tones, dances and variations, through short and witty compositions.

The booklet is recommended to beginner pianists after the initial stages of "getting to know" their instruments and after having had a few months of piano lessons.
