Stronnictwo powinno być jedno: Polska, i temu jednemu służyć będę do śmierci - mówił wybitny pianista w 1918 roku. Niewiele jest miast w Polsce, które podobnie jak Poznań, upamiętniłyby Ignacego Jana Paderewskiego - jednego z najwybitniejszych polskich muzyków, a jednocześnie wielkiego orędownika sprawy polskiej w latach I wojny światowej i szlachetnego człowieka. Rzeczywiście, artysta ze stolicą Wielkopolski związany był szczególnie, zwłaszcza w okresie odzyskiwania niepodległości, a i potem bywały okazje do kontaktu z mistrzem. Zatem: kim był?

Ignacy Jan
Paderewski – artist, pole, patriot He quickly became
one of the most famous pianists in Poland and Europe. Intelligent, witty,
physically attractive and socially refined, Ignacy
Jan Paderewski became an ornament of concert halls and salons, and an
audience favorite. At the same time, he perfected his artistic craft in
Berlin and in Vienna with Teodor Leszetycki and became friends with Camille Saint Saëns. In 1891 he began his triumphant artistic your of
the United States, invited by the piano manufacturer, William Steinway,
supported by world famous Polish actress, Helena Modrzejewska. At the same time,
the artist accumulated a large body of work as a composer. He was the author
of the “Manru” opera, with a libretto based on the
novel by Józef Ignacy Kraszewski “Chata za wsią” (1893-1901), a Piano
Concerto (1882-1889), numerous songs and musical miniatures, the immensely
popular Fantasie Polonaise (1891-1893). His Works,
very Polish in their nature, also relating to Eastern Territory subjects,
were not always understood by foreigners. Finally, after the unfavorable
responses to the Symphony in h-minor (1903-1909, relating to the drama and
heroism of the January Uprising), the artist decided to suspend his composing
activity and focus on performing. He actively performed until the end of his
life. In 1899 he married
Helena Górska and since that time divulged
increasing amounts of time to social and political matters. Due to his great
performing activity, characteristic attitude and immense popularity, he
became a Polish patriot, but also a citizen of the world. He took residence
in Switzerland, in the Riond Bosson
estate near Morges, for some time even owned a
ranch in the United States, and since the year 1897 also a manor in Kraśna Dolna near Tarnów. The period preceding
the First World War was for Paderewski a time of active promotion of Polish
interests, international relations with the most important politicians
associated with the future Triple Entente, mainly with the United States,
England and France. He was received with deference by presidents and prime
ministers alike. He could not achieve much for the sake of independence, but
he reminded other countries of Poland and the harm done to its people by the
country’s neighbors. In July 1910 the Grunwald
Monument, funded by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, was
formally unveiled in Kraków. From that moment on,
the artist clearly defined his political standpoint, in addition to preparing
a memorial for Polish interests, presented to the president of the United
States, Thomas W. Wilson. In the year 1915 he also became involved in charity
work as a member of the General Committee for Aid to the War Victims in
Poland. |
