About

Karol Szymanowski is considered to be Poland’s greatest composer after Chopin.

A contemporary of Bartok, Stravinsky, Scriabin and Ravel, his earlier works are of the late romantic style – Strauss, Reger and Rimsky Korsakov. Later, he developed an impressionistic, oriental and partially atonal style which he later fused with folk music of his native land.

The Fourth and last of his symphonies is a 20th-century take on the Sinfonia with a prominent piano part. His Third ‘Song of the Night’ and Fourth symphonies are masterpieces of the symphonic repertoire.

Like Chopin, Szymanowski composed many mazurkas. His are based on the folk music of the Polish Highlanders, from the Tatra Mountain region.
