...Polymorphia is a musical composition for 48 string instruments (twenty-four violins and eight each of violas, cellos and basses) composed by the Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki in 1961. The piece was commissioned by the North German Radio Hamburg. It premiered on April 16, 1962 by the radio orchestra and was conducted by Andrzej Markowski. ....
At the end of the 1950s and in the early 1960s (Penderecki’s post student years), he sought out new sonic and technical possibilities of instruments, particularly strings, by unconventional means of articulation and peculiar treatment of sound-pitch. In doing so, Penderecki abandoned the traditional notation system and invented his own graphic notation, which was inspired by electroencephalograms. ... ... Penderecki constructed the piece by sound events. Instead of “melody”...
Wolfram Schwinger: “the broadly deployed scale of sound…the exchange and simultaneous penetration of sound and noise, the contrast and interflow of soft and hard sounds."

MUSIC NORMA ERAZO
Absolutamente GENIAL
Es como si los instrumentos de cuerdas se hubiesen convertido en bandadas de pájaros,. En insectos en vuelo, en un verdadero ambiente de convivencia febril.
El Compositor ha sabido dosificar exploraciones percusivas sonoras más allá de lo imaginable.
Estoy Fascinada!!
Que legado nos deja este gran Maestro Dell Arte Musical
ETERE RADIOASCOLTO
Musica contemporanea, avanguardia...tutto bello, riposante, senza necessariamente essere emozionante.
Amo l'ascolto 'acritico'.

Straordinario 😎

RIP... One of the greatest of all
Gérard Begni
This is questionable in my opinion. His stylistic "U turn" is a total mystery for me, so you have actually (at leat) two Penderecki. Who is "One of the greatest of all" in your opinion? The pas avant-gardist Penderecki or the present post-romantic Penderecki?
Sławomir Manikowski
@Gérard Begni stop spreading that academic bullcrap. Penderecki is one and he is the greatest composer of 20/21 century.

@Gérard Begni Gerard, he was not the only composer to radically change his style of composition. Only he can justify it. Sadly, we cannot ask him now. Have you researched anyone who did? If you do, you answer you're own questions. Best wishes. David A

@Sławomir Manikowski I think you're misunderstanding the comment. He isn't bashing penderecki, but asking the op which version of penderecki he enjoyed, or if he enjoyed both

@Zach Guo Gerard also said that P's "stylistic 'U turn' is a mystery for me..." A composer's journey is his own. Sometimes it is interesting to observe which compositional elements remain the same after a "U turn", though I would call them "developments" rather than "U-turns", as if they were retreats. Composers, all artists, are always moving forward.
