The writings of twentieth-century Polish composer Witold
Lutoslawski reveal many important aspects of his approach to music
and his viewpoints as an artist and as a man. In Lutoslawski on
Music, the first full collection of writings by this famous
composer, Zbigniew Skowron has amassed an exciting assortment of
essays, speeches, lectures, and articles, many of which are newly
translated in English and previously unpublished. After an
introductory autobiography, the writings, grouped in five parts,
illustrate various aspects of the composer's creativity, and
discuss musical form, compositional technique, and perception.
Lutoslawski examines his own works as well as those of other
composers, and expresses his views on crucial aspects of
twentieth-century music, including the role of Schoenberg and
Debussy and the impact of the western avant-garde of the 1950s. The
book also contains Lutoslawski's Artistic Diary, his 'notebook of
ideas' written from 1959 to 1984 containing intensely personal
reflections that do not appear in his public speeches and writings.
Concluding with a select bibliography, this collection will give
readers a unique and comprehensive overview of the man and his
music, encouraging a full appreciation of Lutoslawski's
compositional technique and aesthetic views, as well as his
position in the history of twentieth-century music.
