Romance op. 11 (Dvořák Antonin)

Tribute revolves on a dual axis comprised of two lyrical themes that generate the other musical ideas appearing throughout this one movement work. The first theme is given to the piano in the opening and the second theme is announced by the violin on the heels of the opening piano section. Both Themes are developed and elaborated on, woven in and around one another, until they are, at length, transformed into new themes that are more dramatic and rhythmic that their lyrical forebears. The end of the work is announced when a hymn-like section commences in the piano after a genuinely loud climactic section.
- Stephen Albert

Associating the title of the composition - Pleiades - with the poem by Jarosław Iwaszkiewicz is thoroughly justified. By his composition for violin and piano Romuald Twardowski wished to pay tribute to the poet, with whom he was a close friend. The piece was composed in 1993, thirteen years after the poet's death. In the musical language of Pleiades we shall find traces of works by karol Szymanowski. In Pleiades Twardowski uses similar solutions regarding the music texture, such as the high register of the violin playing the cantilena against the background of figurative arabesques of the piano. Irregular rhythm structure of the melodic line can also be encountered in Pleiades. The composition was first performed by Piotr Stawski (violin) and Maciej Grzybowski (piano) in Warsaw on 25th October 1993.
