''Witold
Lutoslawski treated the
surrealistic poem of Jean
Francois Chabrun as a
symbolist story about
love and death. In his
musical interpretation,
according to its default
course he distinguished
the subsequent stages of
the opus which are
characterised by
different kinds of
expression. The first
stage is of an epic and
lyrical character, the
second refers to a
lullaby, the third is of
a dramatic nature and
constitutes the
culmination of the work,
finally, the fourth stage
is a kind of a lament
ending with a reflective
message. Lutoslawski's
musical language is
characterised by
contemporary means of
composing technique. One
should take note of the
unique twelve-note system
elaborated by the
composer, a
characteristic time
organisation based on
contrasting the conducted
sections against the ad
libitum ones, and finally
the vast repertoire of
sound articulation
allowing for unusual
differentiation of the
timbre. [Regina
