  • 1 Elżbieta Jasińska-Jędrosz LOSY SPUŚCIZNY KAROLA
    Elżbieta Jasińska-Jędrosz LOSY SPUŚCIZNY KAROLA SZYMANOWSKIEGO Karol Szymanowski, najwybitniejszy polski kompozytor I połowy XX wieku, urodził się w roku 1982 w Tymoszówce, zmarł w roku 1937 w Lozannie. Jest on autorem 4 symfonii, 2 koncertów skrzypcowych, 2 oper ( Hagith, Król Roger), baletu Harnasie, utworów wokalno-instrumentalnych (w tym wybitnego dzieła religijnego Stabat Mater) oraz licznych utworów fortepianowych, skrzypcowych i pieśni. Szymanowski to także pedagog i wychowawca muzyczny, reformator Konserwatorium Warszawskiego i rektor pierwszej Akademii Muzycznej w kraju oraz wykonawca własnych utworów. Ponadto pisarz, poeta i myśliciel o wszechstronnym umyśle, erudyta, roztrząsający najbardziej zawiłe kwestie z różnych dziedzin życia. Wreszcie człowiek o niezwykłej osobowości, pełen osobistego uroku i ciepła, który wywierał niezatarte wrażenie na wszystkich, którzy się z nim zetknęli. Za wybitne zasługi dla kultury polskiej otrzymał zaszczytny tytuł doctora honoris causa Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego. W wyniku podniesienia tego co narodowe do wartości europejskich i ogólnoludzkich zdobył trwałe miejsce w historii kultury muzycznej Europy i świata.

Spuścizna jego była dwukrotnie zagrożona - najpierw podczas I wojny światowej i rewolucji bolszewickiej, kiedy to rodzina Szymanowskich zmuszona była opuścić swój majątek w Tymoszówce, a następnie w czasie II wojny światowej. Omawiając losy spuścizny Szymanowskiego trzeba zdać sobie sprawę, że większa część życia kompozytora upłynęła na terenie obecnej Ukrainy – najpierw z rodzinnej Tymoszówce, a następnie w Elizawetgradzie. Tymoszowiecki dwór – pełen zabytkowych mebli, cennych książek i pamiątek narodowych - o którym tak pięknie pisze Zofia Szymanowska w książce „Opowieść o naszym domu”1 – po rewolucji został utracony.

  • The Hero of Karol Szymanowski's Opera King Roger In
    4 Password ‘Roger’. The Hero of Karol Szymanowski’s Opera King Roger in Tadeusz Miciński’s Theatre of the Soul Edward Boniecki Institute of Literary Research, Polish Academy of Sciences Towards the end of the first act of Szymanowski’s opera King Roger, the hero of the title, ruler of Sicily, calls to judgment the Shepherd, who is the cause of religious confusion through preaching about an unknown God, with the following words: When the stars light up in the dark blue sky, you will come to the gates of my palace. There the guard will challenge you with ‘Shepherd’, and you will answer them: ‘Roger’.1 The challenge is ‘Shepherd’ and the response is ‘Roger’. But when in the second act the Shepherd arrives at Roger’s palace, he responds to the guards’ challenge, ‘Shepherd’, by correcting them: ‘Challenge: Roger!’ Might this be the librettist’s mistake? Should the response really be ‘Shepherd’? It soon turns out that this is in fact the case, because it is King Roger, wearing a pilgrim’s clothes, following the Shepherd who awakens in him a response. That response is the answer, to his own, Roger’s, existence, since the King’s soul, when challenged by the King as to its own identity, responded with ‘Shepherd’. Roger’s name opened the gates of the palace of the King of Sicily to the Shepherd. The challenge ‘Roger’ opens up the world of Szymanowski’s the- atrical imagination, created in his opera.2 Central to it is the character of King Roger, who exercises absolute rule over Sicily, and over the composer’s 57 58 Edward Boniecki imagination (it was the composer himself who changed the original title of the libretto by Iwaszkiewicz from The Shepherd to King Roger).
