Szymanowski
Lyricism and Ecstasy
The book is concerned with the life and work of Karol Szymanowski. It combines features of a popular monograph intended for a wide circle of readers, with a penetrating, highly competent characterisation of the individual works and style of the composer's successive creative periods. The author tells the story of the composer's life in a lively, concise style, the biography being treated as an indispensable background to the presentation of the music. Thus the main subject of the book is the work of Karol Szymanowski in the light of its contribution to world rather than just Polish music, and his place in history as one of the great composers of his epoch.
