@@charlesbluett8195I appreciate your challenge question! I'll fully reply soon, but in short, I have this thing for Romantic-era counterpoint and I like to speculate how far a composer can take Western counterpoint without stretching it to sonic meaningless. If you have a suggestion how, I'd love to hear it 😀
@@charlesbluett8195 Because we can imagine great plyers of the time like Paderewski himslef playing this late romantic masterpieces on the big ringing grand pianos made at the time the pieces were written.
Reading Micheners Poland, I listen to the former Prime Minister of Poland, also this great pianist... Responding when asked in which year he composed this: "In an even adapt year as every else year"... Reading further: "The great man has used the history of Poland in his masterpiece, then gladness, then a litte depressed, then mineur, then majeur"...... And now it seemes, history is repeating in Ukrain, what 200 years ago happened with same cruality against citizens in Poland.
recently discovered this piece. man is it beautiful.
Underrated composer and piece
Exquisite Profound Focused....Structure....Never knew Paderewsky had it in him....This is Huuuuuge!
BRAVO, Maestro Radziwonowicz !!!
GREAT piece! Never heard it before. That first variation (and not just that instance) is very reminiscent of Busoni's soundworld.
Don't ask me why I love music like this!
why do you love music like this?

esaltato fugue
21:33 Wow, nice leap
Interesting theme, a bit like a nursery variant of Dies Irae :)
0:33 why does Karol completely ignore the dynamic markings?
Artistic license.
