The Dance Preludes for piano four hands were influenced by the Polish composer, Witold Lutoslawski. His music was influenced greatly by Polish folk songs. He is noted for his ability to create “rich atmospheric textures” through his explorations of augmented fourths and semi-tones. He is recognized as one of Poland’s greatest composers
