The purpose of this compilation is to familiarize musicians with these pieces, thereby promoting both their study and performance. The composers are presented in alphabetical order. A short biography of each composer precedes annotations of his/her works in chronological order. Each annotation consists of a description of the composition, with special focus on the style and level of pianistic difficulty. The author of this treatise has researched both the biographies and the annotations in an attempt to present these individual compositions within the broader context of Polish musical culture in the second half of the twentieth century along with the main stylistic trends and their developments during this fifty-year period. Thorough research was necessary to collect the materials, mostly musical scores published in Poland and other countries. Many are available only as the composers’ manuscripts at various locations, such as the Polish Composers’ Union, The Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music and other sources, or directly from the composers themselves. Although this compilation attempts to be as complete as possible, it is obvious that not all works written in this period could be annotated due to lack of available information (e.g., students’ compositions). vii INTRODUCTION Background and Significance Since the middle of the twentieth century, the musical culture of Poland has been enriched by the creation of many works by indigenous contemporary composers. The creative activity in this particular ethnic and political environment during the last five decades is incomparable to any previous historical epoch of Polish music. The number of composers participating in the professional musical life of the country, the quality of their works, and the impact they have made on the development of contemporary music worldwide gives ample cause to study Poland’s creative scene and performance practice. Significantly, after the political changes in 1956, the International Festival of Contemporary Music, “Warszawska Jesie½” (The Warsaw Autumn Festival), was established and immediately developed an open dialogue with the Western European and American avant-garde movements led by Pierre Boulez, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, John Cage, Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, Morton Feldman, and others. The response from the Polish side came around 1960 and was represented within the original works of Krzysztof Penderecki, Witold Lutos»awski, Tadeusz Baird, Kazimierz Serocki, Henryk Miko»aj Górecki, W»odimierz Koto½ski, Augustyn Bloch, and other composers–many of them younger–who captured an inspiration from the West. In an atmosphere filled with the heritage of the Second Viennese School, Bartók, and Stravinsky, they generated their own new concepts of musical structure and expression, textural innovation and sound exploration frequently connected with the new technical media. These developments also affected chamber music. Unconventional instrumental combinations in chamber music ensembles, as well as individual instruments,

    Positions, Methodologies and Aesthetics in the Published Discourse about Brian Ferneyhough: A Critical Study Ian Pace1 Since Brian Ferneyhough achieved a degree of public recognition following the premiere of his Transit (1972-75) in March 1975 at the Royan Festival, a range of writings on and reviews of his work have appeared on a relatively regular basis. The nature, scope, style, and associated methodologies of these have expanded or changed quite considerably over the course of Ferneyhough's career––in part in line with changes in the music and its realization in performance––but nonetheless one can discern common features and wider boundaries. In this article, I will present a critical analysis of the large body of scholarly or extended journalistic reception of Ferneyhough's work, identifying key thematic concerns in such writing, and contextualizing it within wider discourses concerning new music. Several key methodological issues will be considered, in particular relating to intentionality and sketch study, from which I will draw a variety of conclusions that apply not only to Ferneyhough, but to wider contemporary musical study as well. Early Writings on Ferneyhough The first extended piece of writing about Ferneyhough's work was an early 1973 article by Elke Schaaf2 (who would become Ferneyhough's second wife),3 which deals with Epicycle (1968), Missa Brevis (1969), Cassandra's Dream Song (1970), Sieben Sterne (1970), Firecyle Beta (1969-71), and the then not-yet-complete Transit. Schaaf’s piece already exhibits one of the most

While not especially numerous, his works exhibit a sense of great responsibility for each note. He would certainly be more prolific, if this were not the case. He is equally at ease in writing choral, instrumental, and vocal-instrumental music. His work can be classified in four groups according to time of creation. (1) until 1962, search of inspiration dominated by folklore and neostyles ( Toccata ). (2) 1962-1971, a novel and original method of organizing musical time, which resulted in new textural, rhythmic and expressive means ( Visions I , Fragmenti ). (3) 1972-1981 period of stylistic transition towards aleatorics, free sonoric idiom and complex structural approach that is signified by the use of micrometric scale along with the traditional staff notation. Performers gain considerable freedom of choice as far as musical instruments are concerned (e.g., Vox for any wind instrument, Images II for any bowed string instrument).
