  • 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.

She also mentions Wladyslaw Malinowski, who was planning a presentation on the influence of the émigré community on the evolution of creative paths, using the music of Palester, Panufnik, Spisak and Szalow­ ski as examples.

In contrast to its ‘brass’ colleague, however, the clarinet, an instrument which has a brighter sound and is no stranger to a folk band, is in a constantly dazzling dialogue with the piano, whose part is characterised by tart, dissonant harmonies.

    3 Antoni Szałowski – the Essence of His Creativity1 Elżbieta Szczurko “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” (Palester 1989: 28). This is what Roman Palester wrote in his letter to the organisers of a sym- posium devoted to the works of Polish émigré composers, organised in War- saw in 1988 by the Musicologists’ Section of the Polish Composers’ Union. The conference, an event unique in that period, was supposed to include 2 papers dedicated to Antoni Szałowski (1907–1973); however, in spite of ear- lier announcements, they were omitted from the programme. Palester de- scribed this as “something of a scandal” (1989: 28). Referring to the title of the symposium, „Music wrongly present”, he remarked that it was inaccu- rate in relation to the list of artists who were to be the subject of the con- 3 ference, since some of them, such as Michał Spisak, used to visit Poland and maintained continuous contact with their native community, while their works were published and performed in Poland.
