A Panorama of Polish Guitar Concertos
Journal Title: Edukacja Muzyczna - Year 2020, Vol 15, Issue 15
Abstract
The present article constitutes an attempt at outlining the musical oeuvre of Polish composers in the field of concertos for guitar and orchestra. Since the 1940s, when the first concerto with a guitar part was created, more than 100 concertos have been composed in Poland. In an effort to write such a piece of music, composers discovered different creative paths, which often revealed various new colours of the guitar. The article discusses a proposal to divide the concertos created in Poland according to the specificity of the pieces, introduces the history of the first Polish concertos and paints a picture of guitar literature created by 2020.
