Composer's
Note Once, we had a joint
conception to create a
concert telling a life
story. The premiere was
planned to take place on
the Acropolis in Athens.
It was intended to be a
large event, a hybrid of
a mystery play and an
opera. Krzysztof
Kieslowski would be the
director, Krzysztof
Piesiewicz was
responsible for the
script, and I was
planning to compose the
music. We thought it
might be the first of a
series of musical
performances, to be
developed in various
interesting places around
the world in the next few
years. But it was life
that authored a different
ending: Krzysztof
Kieslowski died in March
of 1996. The first part
of Requiem for My Friend
is meant as a farewell to
Krzysztof Kieslowski. I
dedicate this music to
him. Zbigniew
Preisner.
