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.

In this volume I aim to examine the figure of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz in the broader sociocultural context which fostered his work. The attempt to contextualize an immense intellectual patrimony -- despite being restricted to a tiny number of works when compared to more prolific authors, especially in the context of the xix and the xx centuries -- is always a complex and hazardous task. My primary intention in organizing the volume has been to explicate Karlowicz the man as well as Karlowicz the composer, against the complex background of the European fin-de-siecle. The various essays aim to present the reader with an exhaustive reconstruction of Karlowicz's intellectual work. Karlowicz's oeuvre offers a broad artistic portrayal of Poland at the end of the nineteenth century as a fast-evolving country, politically divided and filled with contradictions. Hence the necessity to investigate the fin-de-siecle context with its social and historical implications, showing the influence of the European cultural milieu on the composer's poetics and on his thought. We shall examine the spectrum of relationships and affinities linking Karlowicz's works to the Polish cultural world (on the wave of the rising 'autochthonous' avant-garde movements) and to the wider cultural life pulsating beyond its borders, with special reference to German Wagnerism and Symphonism. Essentially, we are striving to define the uniqueness of his oeuvre, which -- in relation to the manifold influences co-existing in Poland, an insubstantial nation from the political viewpoint and divided along three socio-cultural fronts -- could be defined as distinctively Polish, yet ultimately European.

| An Episode at a Masquerade: Symphonic Poem for Orchestra, Op. 14

Orchestra SKU: HL.215244 The Works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz Volume 11(+)
Orchestra SKU: HL.215244 The Works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz Volume 11. Composed by Mieczystaw Karlowicz. PWM. Classical. Hardcover. 140 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #11592010. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (HL.215244). 12.0x17.0x0.63 inches. Hardcover full score. Text in Polish, German, and English. This edition of the works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz is based on critically examined sources. It includes all his compositions. The aim of the edition is to present the composer's original text as authentically as possible. This is not an easy task. The source materials of Karlowicz's music are very diverse in nature. Apart from most of the songs, the composer prepared for printing and published in his lifetime the following: Serenade for Strings Op. 2, Prelude and Fugue Op. 5, Concerto in A major for Violin and Orchestra Op. 8, Returning Waves Op. 9 and Eternal Songs Op. 10. Being highly experienced in writing for a symphony orchestra, and knowledgeable in the modern method of instrumentation in the neoromantic style, he prepared his scores with great care. The remaining symphonic poems were not published before the composer's death; and the 'Rebirth' Symphony, the manuscript of which miraculously survived the ravages of World War II, was issued only in 1993, as part of the present Complete Works edition. During this war the autographs of the most compositions by Karlowicz, including all his symphonic poems (except for The Sorrowful Tale), were lost. The present publication, therefore, is based as a rule on the first editions, compared with extant autographs or authorized copies of the scores. The amendments of misprints or self-evident mistakes on the part of the composer are not indicated graphically in the text but referred to in the Editorial Notes. $112.00 - See more - Buy online | | | |
| Lithuanian Rhapsody Op. 11: Symphonic Poem for Orchestra

Orchestra (Full Score) SKU: HL.215243 The Works of Mieczyslaw Karlowic...(+)
Orchestra (Full Score) SKU: HL.215243 The Works of Mieczyslaw Karlowicz - Volume VIII. Composed by Mieczystaw Karlowicz. PWM. Classical. Hardcover. 59 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #11596010. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (HL.215243). 9.5x12.25x0.493 inches. Hardcover full score. Introductory texts presented in English, German, and Polish. The Lithuanian Rhapsody (Rapsodia litewska), Op. 11 is the third - after Returning Waves and Eternal Songs - of the six symphonic poems by Mieczyslaw Karlowicz. Composition was probably taking shape during the summer months of 1906 in Warsaw. Lithuanian Rhapsody differs significantly from the other parts of 'programme cycle' which Mieczyslaw Karlowicz's symphonic poems may be regarded as forming. This is a work based primarily on thematic material derived from folk output (something that would never again occur in the composer's brief biography), compared with the earlier score of Eternal Songs or the later Stanislaw and Anna Oswiecim it displays much greater stylistic independence of the German music embodied around the turn of the twentieth century. $88.00 - See more - Buy online | | |
