The title of this work refers to the Tall Ship Race, in which large sailing ships annually appear at various European destinations. The work consists of a slow introduction, which describes the majestic sailing ships; and a faster section (Vivo), which begins in the style of a sea shanty. Now the ship is under full sail, and we hear a reprise of material from the introduction to bring the piece to a close.

Tijdens de wereldbekende, jaarlijkse ‘Tall Ship Race’ nemen op verschillende plaatsen in Europa grote zeilschepen het tegen elkaar op. Dit event vormt de inspiratiebron van dit werk, dat in het eerste, langzame deel een majestueuze boot beschrijft. Hierna volgt een snel ‚vivo’ gedeelte waarin alle zeilen worden bijgezet waarna een spectaculair slot - gebaseerd op het beginmateriaal éen einde maakt aan deze tocht.

Der Titel des Werkes bezieht sich auf das Tall Ship Race, bei dem sich jährlich große Segelschiffe an verschiedenen Orten in Europa messen. Das Werk besteht aus einer langsamen Einleitung, welche den majestätischen Segler beschreibt, und einem schnelleren Abschnitt (Vivo), der im Stile eines Seemannsliedes beginnt. Im Mittelteil fährt das Schiff_x001F_ schon unter vollen Segeln, bevor Motive aus der Einleitung wieder aufgenommen werden, um das Stück zu beenden.

Le titre de la pièce évoque la Tall Ship Race (La Course des Grands Voiliers) qui se déroule chaque année depuis 1956. Les bateaux qui y participent sont tous de grands voiliers servant la formation des jeunes équipages et couvrent des centaines de miles marins sur les mers d’Europe. L’oeuvre se compose d’une lente introduction qui évoque les bateaux majestueux et une section plus rapide débutant dans le style d’une chanson de marins. Un passage central voit les bateaux toutes voiles dehors, puis les thèmes de la première section reviennent pour clore la composition. Hissez la grand voile !

Il titolo del brano evoca la Tall Ship Race, una gara velistica che si tiene ogni anno in diverse localit in Europa. Il brano si compone di una lenta introduzione che rappresenta la maestosit delle imbarcazioni e che precede una sezione veloce (vivo), scritta nello stile di una canzone di marinai. Un passaggio centrale vede le imbarcazioni allineate prima della partenza, in seguito i temi del primo movimento sono ripresentati e concludono la composizione.

The First String Quartet in C major, Op. 37, was written in the autumn of 1917 and earned Szymanowski the first prize in a competition organized by the Ministry of Religious and in a competition organized by the Ministry of Religious and Educational Affairs in January 1922. The First String Quartet is notable for its clar and simple construction. The first movement is in the formof a sonata allegro; the Andantino semplice (in modo iuna canzone) in the middle is a cross between ternary and variation form. The final Scherzando alla burlesca also keeps to the form of a sonata allegro. The combinations and proportions of formal factors and the treatment of thematic material betray a fairly conventional adoption of classical models. Similarly, the expressive and structural use of melodic material shows a respect for traditional norms. Szymanowski created, in other works from the same period, his own individual type of melodic line, which was strongly expressive and achieved its effect chiefly by its tonal qualieties; nevertheless in this Quartet he returns to a fluid, cantilena-like, symmetrically shaped melodic line, which runs along in broad phrases of a concentrated, reflective character. Melody becomes the chief factor in the development of the form, both in thematic usage and in the application of a more polyphonic texture. Harmonic and tonal means are considerably simplified in the Quartet []. Most of the writing is linear, or horizontal, with individual treatment of each part, the parallel continuation of the four sound planes, almost a matter of principle. The functions of the particular instruments in realizing these planes are constantly changing,which accounts for the even greater variedy of tone-colour. The decision to forego experiment with forms and sonorities is reflectedin the overall approach to musical expression. The predominant atmosphere of restrained emotion, quiet lyricism and serenity is strongly suggestive of classical aestetic models. (Based on Zofia Helman Commentary on Szymanowski Complete Edition, Vol. B6) (II) The ''Second String Quartet'' represents an interesting attempt to revert to classical form coupled with the new harmonic and tonal vocabulary worked out previously in the ''Slopiewnie'', ''Stabat Mater'' and ''Mazurkas''. It was also the first time the composer had used folk elements in the framework of a major classical form. The ''Second String Quartet'' is in a special category among Szymanowski's works. Though it dates from the composer was still occupied with folk music, it nevertheless shows him returning to classical models, but at the same time using an aesthetic of subjective expression, which gives the work its own individual stamp. The ''Second String Quartet'' synthesis of the various directions in which Szymanowski was attempting to develop. The sonority and texture used in the first.
