Extract

Witold Lutoslawski is one of the foremost creators of contemporary music, and as a Pole he has attained a rank second only to Chopin. His art is recognized as a brilliant contribution to the European musical heritage, and he has gained the reputation of a contemporary classic – the reward for many decades of painstaking effort to construct and develop his own vision of music.

* Hardly true, for a period that included the composition of Die Jakobsleitet. Lutoslawski possibly means that he published nothing of importance from 1915 to 1923 (Ed.)

* Michael Kennedy, in The Oxford Dictionary of Music, writes: ‘one of the first, if not the first, to devise such a system was J.M. Hauer' […] who ‘wrote his first 12-note piece, Nomos (1919)’ – Interviewer's note. (See further Roger Gustafson's articles on Hauer in Tempo 130 and 161/162 – Ed.)
