Each style of continuo playing is a separate world. And what's especially interesting for me is using bass parts from chamber music works as a base for partimento improvisation. This is a powerful tool which boosts our ability to play in a fanciful way. My lecture prepared for the online conference in Ljubljana is available on YouTube.
Die schöne Müllerin in Lublin (Trybunał Koronny). Next Sunday, July 4th, 6pm. I've been always dreaming of playing this wonderful cycle of songs. And I'm so happy to do it with Piotr Olech whom I know ever since ...
I'm very proud of this arrangement published by the edition of the Akademia Muzyczna Krzysztofa Pendereckiego. My intention was to enrich the repertoire of classical / early romantic Polish piano duo music. The dedicatee of my arrangement is Myroslav Korchynsky - great musician living in today's L'viv.

Ernst Köhler's music s rather unknown. The composer who served as organist of the St. Elisabeth's church in Breslau was, however, one of the leading figures of Breslau's musical life during the 1st half of the 19th c. His music embracing both Bach tradition and new romantic features seems at the first sight conventional but once you start to play it reveals its power. For this recording I've chosen the organ of the Church of Peace in Jawor - a reconstruction of the early romantic instrument by Lummert. I hope this recording will be an important contribution to our understanding of 19th c. music tradition in Breslau and Low Silesia.
Featuring Agata Kielar-Długosz and Łukasz Długosz (flutes). Music by Żeleński, Doppler, Chopin for flute duo with piano. Also some pieces on historical keyboards.

In online format. Watch our recent productions:
Pieces for 4 hands by Ferdinand Ries (pupil of Beethoven who wrote maybe the most brilliant polonaises before Chopin), Ogiński (in my new arrangement), Elsner, Dussek (the great sonata op. 48) and Piazzola. And a piano contest with two participants - Erard and Pleyel. The obligatory piece is also by Dussek (the sonata for 2 pianos in F Major). Wonderful instruments, great experience for us.
