• Description

  Ignacy Jan Paderewski: Letters to His Father and to Helena Gorska (1872-1924) The composer`s correspondence attests to his keen intellect and remarkable personality. In his letters, Paderewski writes about such things as his composition studies and creative work; hence they are not infrequently the sole source of information about such previously unknown or lost compositions. The contents of the letters also reveal many interesting facts about the composer`s peers, including outstanding musicians, composers, performers and teachers. Emerging from these documents is a psychological portrait of a man who, despite numerous setbacks, forged his artistic destiny with the utmost determination. Paderewski`s path led from teaching work that gave him little satisfaction, through his undeniable compositional achievements, which he particularly craved, to the career of a virtuoso loved by the crowds, which made his fortune.
