The core of one-movement piece Krzesany from 1974 is made up of three chords which Wojciech Kilar noted down during his stay in Zakopaný. “They lay on the piano for a very long time, but I didn’t know what to do with them. And then I went abroad to Spain. I went there to watch the bullfighting. Perhaps it was because of the corrida that I thought of the continuation in Spain.” It is the composer’s farewell to the avant-garde: “At a certain moment I realized that the search for new, shocking sound sources had been exhausted. I decided that it could be a shock, too, to allude to something which had been deemed a closed chapter (i.e., folk music, taboo during the avant-garde era). Thus I came to write Krzesany.” During the performance, members of the orchestra will be joined by selected ZUŠ (Elementary Art School) students of the Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc and Zlín region.
