Witold Lutosławski's set of ''Twelve Folk Melodies'' were written in 1945 for the piano in response to a commission from PWM Edition. The pieces are essentially arrangement of Polish folk music, not dissimilar to Miguel Lliobet's guitar arrangements of Catalan folk songs. Lutosławski's pieces originate from several diffrent parts of Poland.
Several years ago the English guitarist Julian Bream made an arrangement remains unpublished.
Many years ago I arranged a handful of the piecesfor the guitar and more recently was encouraged to complete the set. I felt it necessary to relocate some of the pieces to more accommodating keys; one or two further minor alterations were required in order to present the pieces convincingly on the guitar. However, there is nothing that dilutes the original material or compromises the composer's intentions. [Raymond Burley]
