The music of Witold Lutosławski was the antithesis of excess and verbosity. The composer condensed what he wanted to convey, refining his own conceptual forms over years to accommodate the listener's perceptual capabilities. He was also a master of miniatures – how else to describe it if not as mastery – the spectacular virtuosity of the “Wariacje na temat Paganiniego” (1941), performed during the occupation in the Warsaw café "Aria"? “Preludia taneczne” (1954) are pedagogical pieces, yet they are listened to with interest in the interpretations of professionals. In “Epitafium” (1980) and “Grave” (1981), he mourned deceased friends, giving each piece an individual shape. The short songs “Chantefleurs et chantefables” (1990) playfully echoed the content of surrealist verses for children, providing splendid entertainment for adults. 

Subito (1992), with its striking figure resembling a lightning strike, is Lutosławski's final composition. Grand and compact, it shows that the composer did not lose the discipline of his legendary craftsmanship until the end.

English

Muzyka Witolda Lutosławskiego była przeciwieństwem przesady i rozgadania. Kompozytor kondensował to, co chciał powiedzieć, latami szlifował własne koncepcje formy uwzględniające możliwości percepcyjne słuchacza. Bywał też mistrzem miniatury – bo jak inaczej nazwać, jeśli nie mistrzostwem, efektowną brawurę Wariacji na temat Paganiniego (1941), granych podczas okupacji w warszawskiej kawiarni „Aria”? Preludia taneczne (1954) to utworki pedagogiczne, a jednak słucha się ich z zainteresowaniem w wykonaniach profesjonalistów. W Epitafium (1980) i Grave (1981) opłakiwał zmarłych przyjaciół, każdemu z utworów nadając indywidualny kształt. Krótkie pieśni Chantefleurs et chantefables (1990) odbijały dowcipnie treść surrealistycznych wierszyków dla dzieci, zapewniając kapitalną zabawę dorosłym.

Subito (1992) z efektowną figurą przypominającą uderzenie pioruna to ostatni utwór Lutosławskiego. Efektowny i zwarty – pokazujący, że kompozytor do końca nie zagubił dyscypliny swojego legendarnego warsztatu.
