The repertoire on this album includes a wide variety of Bargielski’s works, ranging from miniatures to larger forms allowing listeners to experience a fascinating musical journey and learn about one of the greatest pages in the history of Polish contemporary music.
“‘I treat the piano as an unremarkable instrument in a rich music collection. […] On the one hand, I am excited by, e.g. the possibility of writing something like a piano concerto, and on the other hand, I do not actually believe that I would be able to open a new perspective and muster significant impulses from this wonderful three-legged animal and not state the obvious. However, there is something lighter […] a wink at that bulky instrument that generates emotions of the audience and suffering experiences of adolescents who practice scales and passages, since they are in love with music.’ – Bargielski
