A. Vivaldi - Concerto for Bassoon in E minor
I first heard Fauré's Requiem when I was fourteen. At that time, my entire perception was focused on the creativity of one of the Viennese classics, the creator of the most famous mass of consolation - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

His work represents a significant contribution to classical music and provides a valuable testimony to the development of the Polish musical style. "Etude in B minor, Op. 4, No. 3" is one of Szymanowski's pieces that is often performed during concerts and music competitions. It is a work composed in the form of an etude, characterized by a melodic and flowing melodic line. The video presents a performance of this etude during the Nationwide Competition of School Orchestras of Secondary Music Schools in 2013. Under the baton of conductor Andrzej Kucybała, the Symphony Orchestra of the State General Music School of the first and second degree in Bielsko-Biała beautifully interprets this piece. This etude was composed in the key of B minor, which adds to its exceptional mood and drama. Szymanowski often experimented with various musical styles, incorporating elements of impressionism, neoclassicism, and folklore into his music. Karol Szymanowski was one of the first Polish composers to pay attention to folk music and the traditions of Polish folklore. His works are full of emotion, refined harmonies, and original musical ideas.

His music is still performed and appreciated worldwide, showcasing how important and influential an artist Karol Szymanowski was.
The wonderful performance of the Etude in B minor by Karol Szymanowski is proof of the talents that young musicians have in Poland. Conductor Andrzej Kucybała brilliantly led the Symphony Orchestra, ensuring that every sound was played perfectly. This composition possesses a beauty and emotions that penetrate our skin. It is an extremely difficult piece to play, but the young musicians handled this challenge excellently. Their passion and commitment are truly inspiring.
