He was acclaimed as a cultural icon and musical genius in his lifetime and as one of the most charismatic artists of the first half of the twentieth century, who made Poland famous all over the world. His music has been played in prestigious concert halls, inspiring other artists and thousands of music lovers all over the world for over hundred years since then. Thanks to Paderewski and his genius interpretation of the works of Chopin, Liszt or Beethoven the heritage of high culture has been perpetuated and transferred to the next generations throughout the magical sound of the grand piano.

  • Interpreting Tempo and Rubato in Chopin's Music
    Interpreting tempo and rubato in Chopin’s music: A matter of tradition or individual style? Li-San Ting A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales School of the Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences June 2013 ABSTRACT The main goal of this thesis is to gain a greater understanding of Chopin performance and interpretation, particularly in relation to tempo and rubato. This thesis is a comparative study between pianists who are associated with the Chopin tradition, primarily the Polish pianists of the early twentieth century, along with French pianists who are connected to Chopin via pedagogical lineage, and several modern pianists playing on period instruments. Through a detailed analysis of tempo and rubato in selected recordings, this thesis will explore the notions of tradition and individuality in Chopin playing, based on principles of pianism and pedagogy that emerge in Chopin’s writings, his composition, and his students’ accounts. Many pianists and teachers assume that a tradition in playing Chopin exists but the basis for this notion is often not made clear. Certain pianists are considered part of the Chopin tradition because of their indirect pedagogical connection to Chopin. I will investigate claims about tradition in Chopin playing in relation to tempo and rubato and highlight similarities and differences in the playing of pianists of the same or different nationality, pedagogical line or era. I will reveal how the literature on Chopin’s principles regarding tempo and rubato relates to any common or unique traits found in selected recordings.

  • Paderewski, Ignacy Jan | International Encyclopedia of the First World War
    Version 1.0 | Last updated 08 January 2017 Paderewski, Ignacy Jan By Andrzej Chojnowski Paderewski, Ignacy Jan Polish pianist, composer, and politician Born 06 November 1860 in Kurilovka, Russian Empire (today: Ukraine) Died 29 June 1941 in New York City, United States of America Ignacy Jan Paderewski was a virtuoso pianist. He made use of his popularity in the United States and western Europe to propagate the idea of Polish independence and state sovereignty. In 20th century Poland, he became a symbol of patriotism and devotion to the national cause. Table of Contents 1 Beginnings of Artistic Career and Political Activity 2 The First World War 3 An Independent Polish State 4 Final Years Notes Selected Bibliography Citation Beginnings of Artistic Career and Political Activity Ignacy Jan Paderewski (1860-1941) was born into a family of petty landowners. His ancestors participated in the struggle for Polish independence by taking part in the anti-Russian January Uprising (1863–1864). He maintained a firm conviction about the necessity of acting for the sake of the homeland deprived of independence, and this remains his political legacy. Paderewski’s greatest passion, however, was music. In 1887 he debuted on stage, initiating a series of successful concerts Paderewski, Ignacy Jan - 1914-1918-Online 1/4 across Europe and the Americas. Paderewski used his success to establish contact with important politicians and disseminate knowledge about the so-called “Polish question.” He chose to open his concerts with patriotic speeches, and he promoted the works of Frederic Chopin (1810–1849), another Polish composer. He also inserted into his own compositions motifs referring to Polish folk music and events from the history of Poland.

  • An Attempt to Define Ignacy Jan Paderewski's Performing Style
    An Attempt to Define Ignacy Jan Paderewski’s Performing Style by Prof. Lidia Kozubek Prof. Lidia Kozubek, concert pianist and one of Poland’s most prominent piano educators, is well known to music lovers in nearly all European countries as well as in Africa, both Americas, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Besides concertizing and recording music, Prof. Kozubek is a faculty member of the Warsaw Academy of Music. She has also taught a number of piano students in other countries (such as Japan, Norway, Taiwan and Philippines just to mention a few) as a visiting professor or lecturer. For her artistic and educational achievement Prof. Kozubek received highly regarded national distinctions from Polish government, including the Chevalier Cross “Polonia Restituta.” An inquiry as to who was Paderewski seems to be a good starting point for a discussion of the pianist’s performing style. Paderewski was without doubt a personality of his times. Even among the greatest contemporary musicians, Paderewski remains a phenomenon. He had extraordinary combination of virtues, a multitude of talents and, above all, personal charm, unusual honesty and decency. All of these qualities allowed him to be highly successful in a variety of fields. Paderewski was simply an exceptional human figure. The legend surrounding his pianism is justified not only by his musical genius, but also by the richness of his character, which certainly had an impact on his performing style. As a composer, Paderewski was not always appreciated, but he definitely had a solid theoretical background and developed a strong individual style in which the “Polish tone” is easily found.

  • The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes In
    THE USE OF THE POLISH FOLK MUSIC ELEMENTS AND THE FANTASY ELEMENTS IN THE POLISH FANTASY ON ORIGINAL THEMES IN G-SHARP MINOR FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA OPUS 19 BY IGNACY JAN PADEREWSKI Yun Jung Choi, B.A., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2007 APPROVED: Adam Wodnicki, Major Professor Jeffrey Snider, Minor Professor Joseph Banowetz, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Choi, Yun Jung, The Use of the Polish Folk Music Elements and the Fantasy Elements in the Polish Fantasy on Original Themes in G-sharp Minor for Piano and Orchestra, Opus 19 by Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), May 2007, 105 pp., 5 tables, 65 examples, references, 97 titles. The primary purpose of this study is to address performance issues in the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, by examining characteristics of Polish folk dances and how they are incorporated in this unique work by Paderewski. The study includes a comprehensive history of the fantasy in order to understand how Paderewski used various codified generic aspects of the solo piano fantasy, as well as those of the one-movement concerto introduced by nineteenth-century composers such as Weber and Liszt. Given that the Polish Fantasy, Op. 19, as well as most of Paderewski’s compositions, have been performed more frequently in the last twenty years, an analysis of the combination of the three characteristic aspects of the Polish Fantasy, Op.19 - Polish folk music, the generic rhetoric of a fantasy and the one- movement concerto - would aid scholars and performers alike in better understanding the composition’s engagement with various traditions and how best to make decisions about those traditions when approaching the work in a concert setting.
