Bach's well-known and frequently-cited title raises curious questions concerning the composer's Polish connections in the 18th Century, yet the topic remains surprisingly unexplored, even by Polish researchers.\nSzymon Paczkowski, a distinguished Bach specialist from the University of Warsaw, will present a series of lectures, reviewing current knowledge of this issue, and will outline promising areas of research. What we know of Bach's contacts with Poland and with Poles raises many fascinating questions about the work of Bach's pupils in Poland, the image of Poland in Bach's music, the reception of Bach's music in 18th-century Poland, the transfer of Bach sources to Poland and further afield in the east, and more. Dr. Paczkowski will also examine the popularity of the so-called \"Polish style\" in the music of the time and attempt to explain the presence and importance of Polish elements in Bach's music.\nThe lecture will also provide an opportunity to present Szymon Paczkowski's latest book, Polish Style in the Music of Johann Sebastian Bach (Rowman &amp; Littlefield 2016), which is the first in-depth exploration of the so-called \"Polish style\" in Bach's music. The book explores the semantic and rhetorical functions that undergird the Polish style in Baroque music. It demonstrates how the notion of a Polish style in music was developed in German music theory, and conjectures that Bach's successful application for the title of Court Composer at the court of the Elector of Saxony and King of Poland would induce the composer to deliberately use elements of the Polish style. \nThe lectures are presented by the CUNY Graduate Center, Temple University, University of Madison-Wisconsin, and supported by the Polish Cultural Institute New York.\nPolish Style in the Music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
