    1 ‘A Contrapuntal-Harmonic-Orchestral Monster’? Karol Szymanowski’s First Symphony in the Context of Polish and German Symphonic Tradition Stefan Keym Institute of Musicology, University of Leipzig [...] itwillbeasortofcontrapuntal-harmonic-orchestralmonster,andIamalready looking forward to seeing the Berlin critics leaving the concert hall with a curse on their livid lips when this symphony will be played at our concert.1 This statement by Karol Szymanowski, made in July 1906 in a letter to Hanna Klechniowska, has often been taken to prove the opinion that his Symphony No. 1 op. 15 (composed in 1906/07)2 is an ‘insincere’ work written mainly to demonstrate the technical mastery of the young composer and not to express his personal feelings and values.3 In fact, Szymanowski’s op. 15 was fateful: After its one and only performance by Grzegorz Fitelberg and the Filharmonia Warszawska on 26th March 1909,4 it disappeared comple- tely from the concert programmes. In contrast to Szymanowski’s Concert Overture op. 12 (1904–05) and to his Symphony No. 2 op. 19 (1909–10), the score of his First Symphony was never revised by the composer5 and remains unpublished up to now.6 On the other hand, commentaries by artists on their own works should not be taken too literally. In his statements on some other, more successful compositions, young Szymanowski also mentioned mainly technical aspects: for example, he called the final fugue of his Second Symphony a ‘terrible ma- chine’ with a ‘devilishly complicated’ thematic structure.7 He also provided the musicologists Henryk Opieński and Zdzisław Jachimecki with detailed de- scriptions of the formal structure of his Second Symphony and of his Second 5 6 Stefan Keym Piano Sonata op.

  • The Polish Pianist Artur Hermelin
    M u z y k a l i a XIII · Judaica 4 The Polish Pianist Artur Hermelin H a n n a P a l m o n Introduction For many years, I knew about my late relative - the pianist Artur Hermelin - only this: that he grew up in Lwow (called Lemberg when he was born there in 1901); that he was a child prodigy; and that as a piano soloist he toured Europe with orchestras and gave recitals - some of which were broadcasted by the Polish Radio. I also knew that Artur perished in the Holocaust. When my father told me that, his eyes revealed how much he was still missing his cousin Artur, who had been one year older than him; that was 30 years after Artur’s tragic death, when I was still a child; it was far beyond my grasp, and it still is. We had an old small photo of Artur as a very young boy, hugging a big accordion and giving the camera a warm smile. During my recent attempts to collect details about Artur’s 41 years of life – I’ve read that Artur was among the musicians who were forced to perform music for the Nazis in the ghetto of Lwow and later in the labor camp; hundreds of thousands of Jews - Artur and his relatives among them - were murdered at the ghetto of Lwow and at its notorious Janowska camp, or transported from the ghetto or the camp to concentration camps, in the years 1941-1943. May the memory of the victims be blessed.

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).

  • Antoni Szałowski
    1 Introduction 1.1. Defining the subject “It is the duty of Polish musicologists to know more or less as much about us as they do about the composers who live in Poland”1. These words come from Roman Palester’s letter to the organisers of a sym­ posium devoted to the works of Polish émigré composers which took place in Warsaw in 1988, a project initiated by the Musicology Section of the Polish Composers’ Union. The conference was an exceptional event, and the first one of its kind. The papers to be presented there were to combine critical and aesthetic interpretation with artistic evaluation of the works, and some of them were to be devoted to Antoni Szalowski2. Unfortunately, the achievements of Szalowski, one of the main represen­ tatives of Polish Neoclassicism, were, after all, omitted from the con­ ference programme. Roman Palester described this as “something of a scandal”3. Referring to the title of the symposium, “Music wrongly 1 R.
