organ variation - Opis:
- This paper discusses Tema con variazioni by Romuald Twardowski, composed in 1981, which deserves special attention as an example of breaking with the main stream of organ music of the era. Polish organ music history has largely remained unexamined, mainly due to the shortage of sources — handwritten pieces have either been destroyed or hard to find, whereas the number of printed works is quite small. More organ pieces appeared at the end of the 19th century, thanks to Stefan and Mieczysław Surzyński. The interwar period did not bring significant interest in or-gan music — the major composers were Feliks Nowowiejski and Aleksander Karczyński living in America; the only younger composer of achievement was Kazimierz Jurdziński. A quite large number of important organ works appeared during the Nazi occupation. The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part the author discusses the condition and typical features of organ music in the years of the Polish People’s Republic, i.e. after the 2nd World War, when professional organ music was separated from its natural background, i.e. performance in the church. As a symptomatic example Zbiór preludiów na organy bez pedału by Feliks Rączkowski is indicated — one of the only two books published then containing church cere-mony organ music. The article also provides information on R. Twardowski — a leading Polish composer of the 2nd half of the 20th century, born in 1930 in Wilno, with critical attitude towards the avant-garde trends. The main part of the paper deals with Tema con variazioni. After the presentation of its sec-tions, devices used by the composer are discussed. Special attention is paid to the harmony deriving from the late-Romantic tradition. Finally, the author tries the “economical” approach to the organ concert repertoire and under-lines the advantages of the piece which, although short and simple, deserves attention.
