------------------

Grazyna Bacewicz was a Polish composer and violinist. She was born on February 5, 1909 in Lodz. She began studying at the Warsaw conservatory in 1928, initially taking violin and piano classes and graduated in 1932. She continued the education in Paris. Most of her writings are for the violin. She died in 1969.

Grazyna Bacewiczs honours included the Music Prize of the City of Warsaw (1949), the State Prizes, 3rd and 2nd Degree (1952, 1956), and the Commanders and Knights Crosses of the Order of Polonia Restituta.

Among Bacewiczs early compositions for violin and piano, performed at the beginning of her career (with her brothers Witold and Kiejstut, and with Jerzy Lefeld), an important place is occupied by miniatures, which may be described as studies in the various expressive possibilities within the neo-Classical trend.

@4785689 Hello Could you send me the Zimerman recording, please? Thank you very much.

[4785689]

if you find the score for me i'll send to you the zimerman recording

A Polish pianist recently recorded Bacewicz's full repertoire for the Acte Prealable label, including this piece and the first recording of her first sonata! You should check that out as it's another really excellent work. Thanks for posting this. Kupiec is one of the finest Bacewicz performers I've heard. I've loved this recording and the violin-piano 2-disc she worked on for years.

Thank you very much! Where did you get this performance?

[bachkochuanli]

ya i heard thats the only publisher for grazyna bacewicz's work, i am finding ways to get that original score also.

[surincises]

The score is actually relatively easy to get hold of - I got it from a local music shop within 5 days of ordering. Very accessible music too, lots of pleasant chromaticism. Thinking of learning it. Google PWM, which is her publisher. Thanks for uploading the recording of it!

hm, to be honest, i don't know. i've been trying pretty hard to find the score, but it's rather not an easy task.

i'll keep looking for it and get back with it as soon as i find it :).

...or... it seems that it can be bought at The Sheet Music Store - if they really have it in stock...
