It is one of the last works completed by the composer.&nbsp;<em>Subito<\/em>&nbsp;written in the rondo form contrasts virtuosic and abrupt elements of the refrain with mysterious and unsettling episodes. There are also elements of diabolic scherzos. Every section is characterised by unexpected twists and turns.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sch\u00f6nberg<\/strong>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Phantasy<\/em>&nbsp;(1949) represents twelve-tone serialism technique, a method of composing invented by the composer. It is the last instrumental piece of Sch\u00f6nberg and it was dedicated in the memory of violinist Adolph Koldofsky. In the process of composing Sch\u00f6nberg wrote first the solo violin line and then added the piano accompaniment to go with it. The opening gesture of the violin part prevails&nbsp;in this musically theatrical piece which portrays the late romantic, decadent atmosphere.Schoenberg&nbsp;marks the score with detailed indications regarding various tempos, dynamic and romantic expressive indications, such&nbsp;as passionato, dolce, cantabile, grazioso, and furioso.&nbsp;The parts marked Scherzo are reminiscent of a mischievous, Viennese waltz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Schubert<\/strong>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Fantasia<\/em>, written towards the end of&nbsp;composer\u2019s short life, was inspired by Paganini\u2019s virtuosity, and Schubert\u2019s own song Sei mir gegr\u00fc\u00dft, sei mir gek\u00fc\u00dft &#8211; \u201cLet me greet you, let me kiss you.\u201d The Fantasy is written in one movement. However, due to the changing musical narrative, quite distinct parts can be distinguished in it. It opens with a soulful introduction in C major which contrasts with the following Hungarian like dance in A minor. Next, the melody of the aforementioned song constitutes the heart of this piece, and is the theme of a set of variations in A flat major. After the variations the material from the introduction brings back the key of C major, which is underlined by a triumphant and lively finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Benjamin Britten<\/strong>\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Reveille<\/em>&nbsp;was written by the composer as a kind of musical joke and a gift dedicated to a violin virtuoso, Antonio Brosa. Brosa was Britten\u2019s friend and a music collaborator who had problems with waking up in the morning and thus with early practising. The French word used for the title means \u201cwaking up.\u201d Britten created for Brosa a concert study that musically imitates a sleepy virtuoso warming up on the violin, going step by step from lazy changes of positions into more complicated elements of the violin technique. The repetitive accompanying piano part, of a bass-ostinato character, plays the role of the clock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;<strong>Wieniawski<\/strong>\u2019s time virtuosic variations and paraphrases on popular operas were often included in concert programs to attract audiences. Gounod\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Faust<\/em>&nbsp;opera, full of tuneful melodies and action, inspired Wieniawski to create his&nbsp;<em>Fantaisie Brillante<\/em>&nbsp;in one movement, which has five easily distinguishable parts.&nbsp;Wieniawski chose the most attractive tunes amongst which is the melody from M\u00e9phistoph\u00e9l\u00e8s&#8217;s aria about the greed of man, as well as the waltz from the second act, which constitutes the finale of the Fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>American composer&nbsp;<strong>Stephen Coxe<\/strong>&nbsp;has written&nbsp;<em>Cherchant<\/em>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Searching<\/em>&nbsp;for&nbsp;Magdalena&nbsp;Filipczak\u2019s Carnegie Hall debut. The piece is inspired by the overall, fantasy character of the whole recital program. It alludes to Fantasies of Sch\u00f6nberg, Schubert as well as Ravel\u2019s Sonata&nbsp;which Magdalena recently recorded for her album with a renowned Hungarian pianist Peter Frankl. The opening of the piece brings a clear reference to the Violin Concerto by Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s student Alban Berg. It contains similar tempo indications to Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s Phantasy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Caprice d&#8217;apr\u00e8s l&#8217;\u00c9tude en forme de valse<\/em>&nbsp;&#8211;&nbsp;<em>Etude in a form of waltz<\/em>&nbsp;by Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns &#8211; full of delight and virtuosic fireworks finishes the program of the recital. The Caprice was originally written for solo piano and arranged for violin with piano accompaniment by Belgian violin virtuoso and composer&nbsp;<strong>Eugene Ysa\u00ffe<\/strong>. Saint-Sa\u00ebns was so content with the arrangement that he included it in his own catalog of works.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-1024x705.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8267\" width=\"409\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-1024x705.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-300x206.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-768x528.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-1536x1057.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newyork\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2023\/04\/24dThpOr-2048x1409.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 409px) 100vw, 409px\" \/><\/figure><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>About <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magdalenafilipczak.com\">Magdalena Filipczak<\/a><\/strong>, Violinist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<em>She is a musical chameleon, quickly getting under the skin of whatever she\u2019s playing<\/em>\u201d wrote The ARTS DESK about award-winning Polish violinist&nbsp;Magdalena Filipczak.

She comes from a musical family: her mother, an accomplished pianist herself, was Jessica\u2019s first teacher. Her mother\u2019s father was a self-taught bluegrass guitarist, and his father played the piano as background music for silent movies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica has enjoyed an illustrious and diverse career in music. She pursues ambitious projects that reflect creativity in programming with the goal of bringing attention to infrequently performed works. She enjoys presenting programs that pair well-known audience favorites with music being written today, in addition to programming works written by composers who have historically been overlooked within the classical music canon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica has regularly performed with some of the classical music world\u2019s biggest stars, including Hilary Hahn, Ani Kavafian, and Timothy Eddy, among many others. In addition to performing at some of the world\u2019s top concert halls, including Carnegie Hall, the Seoul Arts Center, and the Kennedy Center, she has gotten to perform at many of the world\u2019s most unique and interesting venues. Some of her favorites include the Walton Gardens in Ischia, Italy; the Louvre Museum in Paris; and the Folly Theater in Kansas City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jessica received her Bachelor of Music degree in piano performance from the Juilliard School and Indiana University Jacobs School of Music; her Master of Music degree from Rice University; and her Doctorate of Musical Arts from Yale University.

The American violinist Joseph Gingold commissioned Witold Lutos\u0142awski to compose Subito as a compulsory piece for the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in 1994. It is one of the last works completed by the composer. Subito written in the rondo form contrasts virtuosic and abrupt elements of the refrain with mysterious and unsettling episodes. There are also elements of diabolic scherzos. Every section is characterised by unexpected twists and turns.  \\nSch\u00f6nberg\u2019s Phantasy (1949) represents twelve-tone serialism technique, a method of composing invented by the composer. It is the last instrumental piece of Sch\u00f6nberg and it was dedicated in the memory of violinist Adolph Koldofsky. In the process of composing Sch\u00f6nberg wrote first the solo violin line and then added the piano accompaniment to go with it. The opening gesture of the violin part prevails in this musically theatrical piece which portrays the late romantic, decadent atmosphere.Schoenberg marks the score with detailed indications regarding various tempos, dynamic and romantic expressive indications, such as passionato, dolce, cantabile, grazioso, and furioso. The parts marked Scherzo are reminiscent of a mischievous, Viennese waltz.\\nSchubert\u2019s Fantasia, written towards the end of composer\u2019s short life, was inspired by Paganini\u2019s virtuosity, and Schubert\u2019s own song Sei mir gegr\u00fc\u00dft, sei mir gek\u00fc\u00dft - \u201cLet me greet you, let me kiss you.\u201d The Fantasy is written in one movement. However, due to the changing musical narrative, quite distinct parts can be distinguished in it. It opens with a soulful introduction in C major which contrasts with the following Hungarian like dance in A minor. Next, the melody of the aforementioned song constitutes the heart of this piece, and is the theme of a set of variations in A flat major. After the variations the material from the introduction brings back the key of C major, which is underlined by a triumphant and lively finale.\\nBenjamin Britten\u2019s Reveille was written by the composer as a kind of musical joke and a gift dedicated to a violin virtuoso, Antonio Brosa. Brosa was Britten\u2019s friend and a music collaborator who had problems with waking up in the morning and thus with early practising. The French word used for the title means \u201cwaking up.\u201d Britten created for Brosa a concert study that musically imitates a sleepy virtuoso warming up on the violin, going step by step from lazy changes of positions into more complicated elements of the violin technique. The repetitive accompanying piano part, of a bass-ostinato character, plays the role of the clock.\\nIn Wieniawski\u2019s time virtuosic variations and paraphrases on popular operas were often included in concert programs to attract audiences. Gounod\u2019s Faust opera, full of tuneful melodies and action, inspired Wieniawski to create his Fantaisie Brillante in one movement, which has five easily distinguishable parts. Wieniawski chose the most attractive tunes amongst which is the melody from M\u00e9phistoph\u00e9l\u00e8s's aria about the greed of man, as well as the waltz from the second act, which constitutes the finale of the Fantasy.\\nAmerican composer Stephen Coxe has written Cherchant - Searching for Magdalena Filipczak\u2019s Carnegie Hall debut. The piece is inspired by the overall, fantasy character of the whole recital program. It alludes to Fantasies of Sch\u00f6nberg, Schubert as well as Ravel\u2019s Sonata which Magdalena recently recorded for her album with a renowned Hungarian pianist Peter Frankl. The opening of the piece brings a clear reference to the Violin Concerto by Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s student Alban Berg. It contains similar tempo indications to Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s Phantasy. \\nCaprice d'apr\u00e8s l'\u00c9tude en forme de valse - Etude in a form of waltz by Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns - full of delight and virtuosic fireworks finishes the program of the recital. The Caprice was originally written for solo piano and arranged for violin with piano accompaniment by Belgian violin virtuoso and composer Eugene Ysa\u00ffe. Saint-Sa\u00ebns was so content with the arrangement that he included it in his own catalog of works. \\nAbout Magdalena Filipczak, Violinist\\n\u201cShe is a musical chameleon, quickly getting under the skin of whatever she\u2019s playing\u201d wrote The ARTS DESK about award-winning Polish violinist Magdalena Filipczak.

The American violinist Joseph Gingold commissioned Witold Lutos\u0142awski to compose Subito as a compulsory piece for the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis in 1994. It is one of the last works completed by the composer. Subito written in the rondo form contrasts virtuosic and abrupt elements of the refrain with mysterious and unsettling episodes. There are also elements of diabolic scherzos. Every section is characterised by unexpected twists and turns.  \nSch\u00f6nberg\u2019s Phantasy (1949) represents twelve-tone serialism technique, a method of composing invented by the composer. It is the last instrumental piece of Sch\u00f6nberg and it was dedicated in the memory of violinist Adolph Koldofsky. In the process of composing Sch\u00f6nberg wrote first the solo violin line and then added the piano accompaniment to go with it. The opening gesture of the violin part prevails in this musically theatrical piece which portrays the late romantic, decadent atmosphere.Schoenberg marks the score with detailed indications regarding various tempos, dynamic and romantic expressive indications, such as passionato, dolce, cantabile, grazioso, and furioso. The parts marked Scherzo are reminiscent of a mischievous, Viennese waltz.\nSchubert\u2019s Fantasia, written towards the end of composer\u2019s short life, was inspired by Paganini\u2019s virtuosity, and Schubert\u2019s own song Sei mir gegr\u00fc\u00dft, sei mir gek\u00fc\u00dft - \u201cLet me greet you, let me kiss you.\u201d The Fantasy is written in one movement. However, due to the changing musical narrative, quite distinct parts can be distinguished in it. It opens with a soulful introduction in C major which contrasts with the following Hungarian like dance in A minor. Next, the melody of the aforementioned song constitutes the heart of this piece, and is the theme of a set of variations in A flat major. After the variations the material from the introduction brings back the key of C major, which is underlined by a triumphant and lively finale.\nBenjamin Britten\u2019s Reveille was written by the composer as a kind of musical joke and a gift dedicated to a violin virtuoso, Antonio Brosa. Brosa was Britten\u2019s friend and a music collaborator who had problems with waking up in the morning and thus with early practising. The French word used for the title means \u201cwaking up.\u201d Britten created for Brosa a concert study that musically imitates a sleepy virtuoso warming up on the violin, going step by step from lazy changes of positions into more complicated elements of the violin technique. The repetitive accompanying piano part, of a bass-ostinato character, plays the role of the clock.\nIn Wieniawski\u2019s time virtuosic variations and paraphrases on popular operas were often included in concert programs to attract audiences. Gounod\u2019s Faust opera, full of tuneful melodies and action, inspired Wieniawski to create his Fantaisie Brillante in one movement, which has five easily distinguishable parts. Wieniawski chose the most attractive tunes amongst which is the melody from M\u00e9phistoph\u00e9l\u00e8s's aria about the greed of man, as well as the waltz from the second act, which constitutes the finale of the Fantasy.\nAmerican composer Stephen Coxe has written Cherchant - Searching for Magdalena Filipczak\u2019s Carnegie Hall debut. The piece is inspired by the overall, fantasy character of the whole recital program. It alludes to Fantasies of Sch\u00f6nberg, Schubert as well as Ravel\u2019s Sonata which Magdalena recently recorded for her album with a renowned Hungarian pianist Peter Frankl. The opening of the piece brings a clear reference to the Violin Concerto by Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s student Alban Berg. It contains similar tempo indications to Sch\u00f6nberg\u2019s Phantasy. \nCaprice d'apr\u00e8s l'\u00c9tude en forme de valse - Etude in a form of waltz by Camille Saint-Sa\u00ebns - full of delight and virtuosic fireworks finishes the program of the recital. The Caprice was originally written for solo piano and arranged for violin with piano accompaniment by Belgian violin virtuoso and composer Eugene Ysa\u00ffe. Saint-Sa\u00ebns was so content with the arrangement that he included it in his own catalog of works. \nAbout Magdalena Filipczak, Violinist\n\u201cShe is a musical chameleon, quickly getting under the skin of whatever she\u2019s playing\u201d wrote The ARTS DESK about award-winning Polish violinist Magdalena Filipczak.
