The composer Witold Lutostawski (born 1913) is one of the
outstanding musical personalities of the twentieth century. In this
critical biography Steven Stucky traces Lutostawski's development
from the Stravinsky-influenced music of his student days to his
emergence in the 1960s as a leading avant-gardist. Since the
vicissitudes of cultural life in his native Poland have profoundly
affected the composer's career, the book includes detailed accounts
of Lutostawski's official censure for 'formalism' in the late 1940s
and the leading role he later played in a flourishing Polish
modernist movement. Both well-known works, such as the Concerto for
Orchestra, Trois poemes d'Henri Michaux and the Second Symphony,
and the lesser-known early music are considered in detail.
Fragments of many compositions never before published in the West
are included. There are also analytical summaries of each major
work from Jeux veitiens (1961) to Mi-parti (1976).
