Mieczyslaw Weinberg left his family behind and fled his native
Poland in September 1939. He reached the Soviet Union, where he
become one of the most celebrated composers. He counted
Shostakovich among his close friends and produced a prolific output
of works. Yet he remained mindful of the nation that he had left.
This book examines how Weinberg's works written in Soviet Russia
compare with those of his Polish contemporaries; how one composer
split from his national tradition and how he created a style that
embraced the music of a new homeland, while those composers in his
native land surged ahead in a more experimental vein. The points of
contact between them are enlightening for both sides. This study
provides an overview of Weinberg's music through his string
quartets, analysing them alongside Polish composers. Composers
featured include Bacewicz, Meyer, Lutoslawski, Panufnik,
Penderecki, Gorecki, and a younger generation, including Szymanski
and Knapik.
