Karol Szymanowski: Mythes, Op. 30, 2. Narcissus
Mythes Op. 30 (1915) by Karol Szymanowski was written for violinist Paul Kochanski. It stands out as one of the most progressive and innovative works for violin and piano from its time. Its use of quarter tones, trilled double stops, harmonics, and other special effects for the violin are remarkable for the atmospheric effects that take the listener far beyond the notes. The piano writing is equally challenging for its dense harmonies, arpeggios, and extended trills, weaving in and out with the violin in textures that are often polyrhythmic and polytonal yet completely complementary. Out of this complexity comes music that’s wholly evocative and entrancing, depicting scenes of Greek mythology.
