Danse vive was written in 1939 and had its first performance, as did most works of this time, as mentioned by the composer, in the famous occupation Art Salon at Ulica Nowy wiat 27 in Warsaw, led by Boles aw Woytowicz. Lech Miklaszewski made the first archival recording of the piece for Polish Radio in September 1946. After a long period of obscurity, Danse Vive appeared unexpectedly during the inaugural concert of the VII International Festival of Contemporary Music, Warsaw Autumn, on 21st September 1963. W adys aw K dra, after performing Tadeusz Szeligowskis Piano Concerto with the Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio conducted by Jan Krenz, played Kisielewskis piece as an encore. Mieczys aw Tomaszewski in conversation with Joanna Pruszy ska defines Danse Vive as Toccata 41. Indeed - the free, almost improvised form, the figurative texture and at the same time the uniform lines inlaid with sforzandi syncopated rhythms (although changing time signatures several times) give the composition such a nature. But at the same time Danse Vive can be described as an apotheosis of a Krakowiak, a lively, Galician dance, whose full theme at 44 is shown only once in the piece, after a thickening, figurative outset, not at all reminiscent of folk melodies. [M. G siorowska, Kisielewski, PWM 2011].

A delightful combination of lyrical themes with rhythmic exuberance and folk-like melodies. Viva Espania is based on themes by two 19th-century Spanish composers. The opening theme is from Recuerdos de la Alhambra by Francisco Tarrega. That piece is a traditional Spanish waltz and was inspired by the famous Alhambra Castle in Grenada. The second theme is by Isaac Albeniz from a suite of music for the piano, Songs of Spain, entitled Leyenda. This section, while still in 3/4 has a fiery exuberance much like one would expect from a flamenco guitarist, yet it's very playable by young players. Authentic Spanish music that's a terrific addition to any concert performance!
