    The Fryderyk Chopin University of Music Department of Instrumental and Educational Studies in Bialystok Małgorzata Marczyk, MA Neo-romanticism and expressionism in the works of the Young Poland composers. Interpretation study of the piano and chamber works based on selected examples SUMMARY The artistic work of my doctoral thesis is to record the following works on a CD: Ludomir Różycki - Sonata in a minor op. 10 for cello and piano Karol Szymanowski - Six love songs of Hafiz op. 24 for voice and piano Grzegorz Fitelberg - Romances sans paroles op. 11 for violin and piano Mieczysław Karłowicz - Impromptu for violin and piano Apolinary Szeluto - Five preludes op. 6 for piano The description of artistic work is a characteristic of the phenomenon of the neo-romantic and expressionist style in the works of the above-mentioned composers, based on the interpretation study of the recorded works for the purpose of establishment of their artistic vision. The choice of authorship of the recorded and described works includes the selected works of eminent composers of the Young Poland period, who became the precursors of the Polish modernist direction. The great chamber form, two cyclical forms and two miniatures were subjected to a thorough analysis, necessary for the selection and determination of the analogies and discrepancies deciding about the performance aesthetics, as well as for the purpose of isolation of characteristic details of each artist’s individual sound language. The structure of the work consists of four chapters. The first chapter presents broadly understood Polish music at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the context of the prevailing political and cultural situation.

  • More Precious Than Gold
    More Precious Than Gold. Treasures of the Polish National Library. Edited by Halina Tchórzewska-Kabata; with the assistance of Maciej Dabrowski. Translated into English by Janina Dorosz; revised from the Polish and ed- ited by Philip Earl Steele. Design and creation of electronic version – Wojciech Buksowicz, with the assistance of H. Tchórzewska-Kabata. Warszawa, Biblioteka Narodowa, 2003 More Precious Than Gold. Treasures of the Polish National Library, the al- bum we published in 2000, comprises pictorial and descriptive presentations of 105 of the most valuable, beautiful, and oft’times unique monuments of Polish and European culture and letters. These treasures represent all the many categories of the collections safeguarded at the National Library in War- saw: old and modern manuscripts, early and recent prints, musicalia and maps, graphic art and drawings, the first photographs and sound-recordings and documents on social life. Now we are pleased to be able to present More Precious Than Gold. Treas- ures of the Polish National Library in electronic form. In its printed form our album is distinguished by its highly meticulous editorial elaboration and the artistry of its graphic design and layout. This was made possible thanks to the financial support that Polkomtel S.A., the operator of PLUS GSM digital mobile telephone network, graciously extended to the National Library. The bibliophilic excellence of More Precious Than Gold has not been suc- cessfully transferred to the screen. Notwithstanding this, the album’s sub- stantive portions – its forewords and 105 descriptive texts – have been pre- served in their entirety. Moreover, our album’s iconographic presentations have proved to be surpassingly attractive in electronic form.

  • Nationalism in Karol Szymanowski's Mazurkas No
    Nationalism in Karol Szymanowski’s Mazurkas No. 1-4, Op. 50: The Influence of Goral Music A doctoral document submitted to the Division of Graduate Studies and Research of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Keyboard Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2007 By Sun-Joo Cho 2410 Ohio Ave. #201 Cincinnati, OH 45219 B.M., Ewha Women’s University, Seoul, South Korea, 1997 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2001 Committee Chair: Dr. Robert Zierolf Abstract Karol Szymanowski was a successor to the Polish nationalism of Chopin, and truly was an important figure as the bridge between Chopin and twentieth-century composers including Lutoslawski, Penderecki, Gorecki, and Paderewski as a figure of international fame. He composed two sets of mazurkas: 20 Mazurkas, Op. 50 (1924-25) and Two Mazurkas, Op. 62 (1933-34), his last completed works. His mazurkas are commonly understood to have been directly inspired by Chopin’s. However, Szymanowski’s were also influenced by Poland’s postwar independence, Bartok’s nationalism, Stravinsky’s Russian Period music, and musical contacts with the Gorale and personal experiences in Zakopane, located in the Podhale region in the Tatra Mountains in the early 1920s. Among these influential factors, the music in the Podhale region was the biggest motivation and musical basis in composing a set of Mazurkas, Op. 50. Written in Zakopane in the 1920s, they show many general musical characteristics from the “highland” mountain area and are clearer examples of nationalism than Op. 62.

It was in her captivating class on twentieth-century Polish music in the Spring of 2012 that I was introduced to the music of Szymanowski, and without her generous assistance, thought-provoking comments, and steadfast encouragement I would not have survived this task. To my mentor and teacher Mark Kaplan, thank you for the many years of inspiration and support. You fostered in me a love for the violin and a curiosity for music that I would not otherwise have found. Your support and understanding over the years have been greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read through drafts and for your advice regarding writing style. Finally, a most poignant and special thanks to my parents, Ken and Sue. Thank you for submitting your lives to this musical journey so many years ago. You have been a constant force that has kept me moving forward through every challenge, every performance, audition, and exam.

  • Prof. Adolf Chybiński (1880–1952) — Founder of Polish Musicology
    3 Prof. Adolf Chybiński (1880–1952) — Founder of Polish Musicology. For the Centenary of the Faculty of Musicology at Lvov University (1912–2012) Michał Piekarski Prof. Adolf Chybiński (1880–1952) – Founder of Polish Musicology 39 Professor Adolf Chybiński is the founder of Polish musicology both with regard to academic research and teaching. The school of musicology which he created at Lvov University (Universitas Leopoliensis) played a key role in the development of that discipline in Poland. Cracow — Munich — Lvov It was in Lvov (now Lviv) that Professor Adolf Chybiński spent his longest and most active period of research and didactic work. In the first 30 years of nd th his life, however, he resided in Cracow and Munich. In the 2 half of the 19 century Cracow, once the capital of Poland, was under Austrian rule, though nominally it formed a separate Grand Duchy of Cracow, closely linked with the neighbouring Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, also a crownland of the Austrian Empire. These two were referred to jointly as Königreich Gal- izien und Lodomerien mit dem Großherzogtum Krakau (Kalisiewicz 2000: 1043). The capital of Galicia was Lvov (Lemberg) — a city twice bigger than 1 Cracow, situated 300 km east of the latter. Both cities boasted their own uni- versities whose traditions looked back to the Polish-Lithuanian Common- wealth — The Jagiellonian University in Cracow and the K. u. K. (Imperial 2 and Royal) Emperor Francis I University in Lvov. th 3 st Adolf Eustachy Chybiński (b. 29 March 1880 in Cracow, d. 31 October 1952 in Poznań) spent the first years of his life in his home city of Cracow, where he was born in the Old Town, in a house at 32, Floriańska St.
