Poszukiwanie brzmienia w kontekście nietypowej obsady orkiestrowej na przykładzie I Koncertu organowego „Adalbertus” Henryka Jana Botora

Abstract

The article includes suggestions concerning an interpretation of The first organ concert “Adalbertus” by Henryk Jan Botor, a modern Polish composer whose works oppose any attempts to qualify it as a given trend of modern music. Thanks to it, performers have more freedom of interpretation, but, at the same time, are forced to look for an individual key to understand this music. The possibilities of obtaining various sounds of the same fragment mainly derive from the orchestra staff untypical of the very playing. Preparation of the music material took place on the basis of the author’s professional experience, her being a conductor, and consultations with a composer.
