''1. Maklakiewicz, Japanese Songs'' were written thanks to the composer's contact with Japanese poet Riociu Umeda, a Reader at Warsaw University, and M. Wodzińska, an enthusiast of Japanese poetry, who translated it into Polish and wonderfully felt its character. Writing the music was preceded by detailed studies of Japanese scales and instruments, rhythm and the specific mood that comes from this music.
