Par SWIDER JOZEF. The work of neoclassical character, in the traditional form of a suite combining transparency of texture with lightness of expression. As is typical for the genre, the parts of the cycle are juxtaposed based on contrast in character and pace. The piece begins with a rough and somewhat 'robbery' Allegro, followed by Moderato, which is a refined and at the same time funny stylizati…
