2 Melodies
for Voice and Piano
Music in this film is scarce, sometimes just shreds, but always adapted to the situation. There is little typical Kisiel. This is because music in this film is mainly an illustration, sometimes a clever commentary - from the Parisian waltz, sentimental solo violin melody and with orchestra accompanying lyrical scenes to boogie-woogie during an unexpected stray visit to the monastery's dormitory, the next owner of the boots and the march accompanying the change of the guard at Buckingham Palace. But there are also grotesque paraphrases of patriotic and folk tunes, during the twists of the actor playing Kosciuszko (who ended up in a psychiatric hospital), there are musical commas (short glissandos or trombone or orchestral motives in critical situations - when the boots hit the end of the Hipek Michalak) and many other funny situations that are highlighted musically. Threads of the title song, sung at the beginning by Włodzimierz Kotarba, wind through the film sometimes in sentimental or gay versions as a magic leitmotif, to reapper once more in full for the second time, at the end of the film. Two fragments from the film music: the title song The Goloshes of Fortune and the Paris Memoirs are published by PWM in a version for voice and piano. These fragments were also immortalised in a recording for radio, this time with the Polish Radio Orchestra in Cracow, under the baton of Stanisław Has.
