Witold Rudziński (1913-2004) – composer, theorist, music historian, pedagogue, music critic. He is also known for having promoted the idea of listening to music and various methods of teaching it. He would often stress the significance of that area of his didactic work himself. Whilst creating his method, Rudziński focuses upon two aspects – the importance of developing the music imagination of the listener and a conscious choice of the widest possible repertoire. The author presents the entire piece in a concise manner, without breaking it up into separate elements. The act of getting to know music becomes an ongoing game between the analytical and the synthetical thinking processes. An active, versatile listener, who perceives music intensely is, according to Rudziński, a co-creator of the musical work. The biggest importance is attached to the right choice of repertoire of different periods and styles, ideally also varied in terms of orchestration. All this provides an extra challenge for perception and therefore becomes a great way of training the listener’s brain. Various methods of notation (such as music examples, diagrams and illustrations) enhance the process of perception by letting the listener see whatever might be impossible to hear in the direct contact with the work. The author’s concept of listening to music was a result of his deep belief that music plays a unique role and has a significant impact upon everybody’s overall cultural awareness. Rudziński promoted his ideas in various forms, including radio broadcasts, lessons and open lectures. He also wrote a number of successful publications, which provide a valuable output of his life-long passion for popularising music. These include: Music for Everyone (1st ed. Cracow 1948, 2nd ed. Cracow 1966), About Music in the Company of a Loud- Speaker (Cracow 1975) as well as Music of Our Century (Warsaw 1995)
