Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. The cycle of nine Reliefs was written between 1984 and 1989, during the last period in Andrzej Krzanowski?s life, and it provides further evidence of his interest in the fine arts, which he exploited in his compositional work. The sculpture technique enabling an artist to create bas reliefs of varying degrees of convexity, for which the raw material is so important, is fait…

Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. The sequence of expressively and dynamically contrasting tempi (Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai e tranquillo – Allegro con vigore – Lento assai da lontano) creates a distinctly twofold form.

In his commentary in the programme book of the 16th Festival of Contemporary Music in Wroclaw, in 1988, Andrzej Krzanowski pointed to his experimentation in the areas of timbre and architecture throughout the cycle of Reliefs. In the case of Relief IV, that experimentation concerned primarily the choice of forces: soprano, a voice with an extensive compass (b – d flat3), an…

Par KRZANOWSKI ANDRZEJ. Composed in Czechowice-Dziedzice, in 1984, Relief I for accordion opens a cycle of nine works for solo or chamber forces. This work is of a sarcastic character, and its multi-segmented form consists of the alternating of dissonant ?quick? segments, dominated by sevenths, with two-part dolce segments led in contrary motion, as well as series of chords repeated with a surpris…
