On 29 March, it will be ten years since Karol Szymanowski died. It is sufficient to reread the Stabat Mater, the Mazurkas, Harnasie to know that his work lives on. That is all that matters, no doubt. But this assurance does not console us. We are increasingly aware of the emptiness that his death hollowed out. His absence leaves us impoverished. And today, before speaking of his work, which has time on its side, we would like to turn to the memory of him, while we can still hear his often-veiled voice, and still see his beautiful, fine face, his gaze alternately so near and yet so distant.
