Book Description
This book looks at Polish music since 1937 and its interaction with political and cultural turmoil. In Part I musical developments are placed in the context of the socio-political upheavals of inter-war Poland, Nazi occupation, and the rise and fall of the Stalinist policy of socialist realism (1948–54). Part II investigates the nature of the 'thaw' between 1954 and 1959, focusing on the role of the 'Warsaw Autumn' Festival. Part III discusses how composers reacted to the onset of serialism by establishing increasingly individual voices in the 1960s. In addition to a discussion of 'sonorism' (from Penderecki to Szalonek), it considers how different generations responded to the modernist aesthetic (Bacewicz and Lutoslawski, Baird and Serocki, Górecki and Krauze). Part IV views Polish music since the 1970s, including the issue of national identity and the arrival of a talented generation and its ironic, postmodern slant on the past.

Book Description
The six string quartets dedicated to his friend Joseph Haydn represent a turning point in Mozart's compositional development. In addition to providing a full synopsis of each quartet this book examines the music in relation to Mozart's earlier quartets, considers the genesis of the six 'Haydn' quartets through close examination of the autograph revisions and looks at contemporary eighteenth-century analytical models. John Irving also charts the reception of the quartets, drawing upon a broad range of sources: Mozart's letters and diary entries, early newspaper reports, harmony/compositional textbooks, contemporary criticism and early biographies.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: In the twentieth century, new compositional concepts were introduced to Poland, which had been devastated by wars. Poles absorbed these new music trends happening in the world, and eventually created their unique music. Consequently, many fabulous Polish composers emerged in the twentieth century, but they did not receive the recognition they deserve. Therefore, my motivation to write this treatise is to better understand the contemporary music in Poland. The first chapter of this treatise provides an overview of the music background in the twentieth century, along with brief history and music background in Poland in the first sixty years of the twentieth century. The second chapter, introduces an outstanding female Polish composer, Grazyna Bacewicz. Her detailed biography, music characteristics and representative violin compositions from her second and third compositional periods will be addressed in the second and third chapters. Her representative compositions addressed include Polish Capriccio (1949) and Sonata no.4 for Violin and Piano (1949) from her second compositional period, and String Quartet no.6 (1960) and 4 Kaprysy (1968) from her third compositional period. Given that the author is a violin player, this treatise will also introduce these compositions from a perspective of performance.
