The nineteenth-century tradition depicts the archetypal portrait of a composer. A demonic dandy, and a sentimental neurotic man all through his short life. Unstable, his love is unrequited, but he finds consolation in numerous love affairs and romances. Stanisław Moniuszko was the polar extreme to this image. A sedate and good-natured man, limping, short-sighted, and with a big family, he had grown old too soon. Although his talent was not as great as Chopin’s, and never as famous, Moniuszko has left to his compatriots that, what in his temporary times was considered as a sign of musical honour – The National Opera.

When he was working, he was on his element, permanently focused, stern, dignified and inaccessible. That is how Witold Lutoslawski remained in the memory of those who knew him only from photographs. Those who knew him personally remember the ennoblement that they felt in his company.
The dust has settled, the planes with participants have departed, and yet there are still months of work ahead. It has taken me some time and distance away from my constantly ringing phone and hundreds of daily emails to reflect. I actually don’t yet feel its time to reflect, as it feels like I am still on the PolArt Honeymoon.
