Four Movements for Two Pianos Philipa Glassa jest kompozycją, której wiele cech pozwala zaszeregować ją do nurtu w muzyce przełomu XX i XXI wieku określanego jako „neoromantyzm” lub „nowy romantyzm”. W utworze tym elementem pierwszoplanowym staje się melodyka, zaś harmonika oparta jest na trójdźwiękach i czterodźwiękach. Dominującą fakturą jest homofonia, w zakresie artykulacji często wprowadzana jest gra legato. Zaakcentowanie w tytule czterech części wchodzących w skład utworu wskazuje na analogie z czteroczęściowym schematem cyklu sonatowego. Część pierwsza odzwierciedla elementy formy allegra sonatowego, o czym świadczy tempo szybkie, wystąpienie dwóch przeciwstawnych tematów i ich przetwarzanie oraz wprowadzenie krótkiej repryzy, a także stosowanie nieregularnych struktur okresowych. Część druga, utrzymana w tempie umiarkowanie wolnym, ma budowę odcinkową; zaznaczają się w niej cechy ronda. Część trzecia utrzymana jest w formie odcinkowej. W jej warstwie wyrazowej kompozytor nawiązał do tradycji gatunku scherza. Finał (Movement 4) kompozytor ujął w formę wariacji z dwoma tematami. W Four Movements for Two Pianos kompozytor nawiązuje także do tradycji romantycznych utworów cyklicznych poprzez dążenie do ujednolicenia materiału tematycznego. O oryginalności ustanowionego przez Philipa Glassa idiomu postminimalistycznej sonaty świadczy nowatorskie kształtowanie struktur tematycznych, łączące struktury ewolucyjne, nawiązujące do tradycji sonaty klasyczno-romantycznej, z procedurami repetycyjnymi o proweniencji minimalistycznej oraz zestawianie minimalistycznej faktury fortepianowej z fakturą wirtuozowską. O postminimalistycznym obliczu utworu Four Movements for Two Pianos zadecydowało przede wszystkim wprowadzenie techniki repetytywnej oraz oryginalne zestawianie jej z techniką przetworzeniową i wariacyjną. W sposobie kształtowania formy — odwołaniem do dawnego modelu formalnego i wypełnianiem go nowoczesnym językiem dźwiękowym nawiązał Glass do idiomu neoklasycznej sonaty.

Philip Glass’s Four Movements for Two Pianos is a composition whose numerous qualities allow it to be linked with the contemporary musical trend known as “neoromanticism” or “new romanticism”. The crucial element of the piece is the melody, the harmony is based on triads and four-note chords. The dominant texture is homophony, and the legato articulation is often introduced. The four movements stressed in the title indicate analogy with the four-part sonata cycle. The first part reflects the elements of the sonata-allegro form, as evidenced by the fast tempo, the occurrence of two opposing subjects and their transformation, introducing a short recapitulation, and the use of irregular periodic structures. The second part, written at moderate pace, has a sectional structure; there are some features of the rondo form. The third part also has a sectional structure. The composer referred to the scherzo genre in it. Movement 4 takes the variation form with the two themes. In Four Movements for Two Pianos the composer also refers to the tradition of romantic cyclical works by striving to unify the thematic material. Philip Glass in his postminimalist sonata provides an innovative formation of the thematic structures, linking evolutionary structures, referring to the tradition of classical and romantic sonatas with the repetitive procedures of minimalist origin, and combining a minimalist piano texture with a virtuoso texture. The postminimalist nature of Four Movements for Two Pianos was determined primarily by the introduction of the repetitive technique, which is compiled with the development and variation techniques. In the manner of shaping the form — referring to the old formal model and filling it with a modern sound language, Glass referred to the idiom of the neoclassical sonata.

The subject matter of the Romantic organ sonata is viewed in the article from a general, wide perspective, therefore providing additional background concerning its status. In particular, the issues discussed include the following aspects: lists of sonatas with nationalities of their composers, time limits of the Romantic organ sonata, kinds of sonata cycle structure, specific characteristics of forms applied in the particular parts of the cycle and their location within its different variants, as well as the final conclusions. The text is completed with the annexes and tables which illustrate the issues discussed. During the research 246 sonatas had been identified, of which nearly 70% were analyzed. The note transcription of the remaining works proved unavailable. The key role in the emergence and development of the Romantic organ sonata was played by German composers. Their sonatas make over a half of all the identified pieces. The predecessors were: Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and August Ritter. Their suggested cycle structure and the features of their organ sonatas defined the direction of the genre’s development, which was confirmed by the works of other German composers, as well as those of other nationalities. The significant group of composers writing organ sonatas is made by British authors (41 sonatas, 26 composers), whereas the list of French creators is rather short. In other countries there were few composers who wrote a small number of sonatas. There are also countries in which not a single organ sonata was found. This article is the first attempt to present the overview of the Romantic organ sonata in Polish professional literature.

This article discusses the works for solo piano and for piano and orchestra, in which reli- gious inspiration associated with Christianity was found. The fact that such “sacral” inspiration was pre-sent in piano music may be confirmed by many works of Ferenc Liszt and Olivier Messiaen, to name but a few evident examples. One can also add selected works of Frederic Chopin, not only Scherzo in B minor, op. 20, which includes a citation of the Polish carol “Lulajże, Jezu- niu (“Lullaby, Little Baby Jesus”), but also a number of motifs from other Polish church hymns found in Chopin’s music by Jan Węcowski. There are several categories of works with references to the sacred in the Polish piano music of the 20th and 21st century: works with religious inspiration suggested in their very title or in the musical material, and works with a widely understood religious context, but without any direct references to the sacred. Religious themes can be found in the works for piano and orchestra, for instance by Wojciech Kilar, Paweł Łukaszewski, Bogusław Madey, and Józef Świder. These themes appear in solo works for piano, e.g. by Mirosław Bukowski, Irena Garztecka, Leszek Mateusz Gorecki, Tomasz Kamieniak, Juliusz Łuciuk, Władysława Markiewi- czówna, Witold Rudziński, Marian Sawa, Sebastian Szymanski or Aleksander Tansman. The piano music with religious inspiration written in the 20th and 21st centuries has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive research. However, some authors did point to such motifs, for example Stanisław Będkowski, Bogumiła Mika, Violetta Przech, and Janina Tatarska. Still, they only men- tioned them while writing about other, non-religious issues related to Polish piano music.

The article concerns the late works by Claude Debussy – three of Six sonates pour instruments divers (the only three he had finished before his death). The analysis, particularly analysis of their form, is the main topic of this paper. The author considers the form of the sonatas in the context of the political and sociological tendency to return to the “real” French music. This idea, very popular in France in the late 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century, could have had some impact on Debussy’s last works. The aim of this paper is to describe the influence of these tendencies on the form of Debussy’s sonatas and to prove that they imposed the change of his creative attitude.

Artykuł oscyluje wokół problematyki późnych dzieł C. Debussy’ego – trzech z zaplanowanych Sześciu sonat na różne instrumenty, które udało mu się dokończyć przed śmiercią. Głównym celem jest analiza układu formalnego, jaki zastosował w nich kompozytor. Rozwiązania formalne ujęte zostały w kontekście polityczno-społecznym Francji XIX/XX w., przesyconym nacjonalistycznymi poglądami na sztukę muzyczną. Tendencje te wywarły bowiem silny wpływ na kształt późnej twórczości Debussy’ego. Artykuł opisuje i charakteryzuje ten wpływ oraz dowodzi, iż ówczesna sytuacja społeczna zmieniła podejście kompozytora do procesu twórczego.
