I would love to hear more Morawski(-Dabrowa)!
He was a friend of Ciurlionis, and was rector of Chopin Academy in Warsaw after Szymanowski.
I have been looking for his piano music, but was told by people that it was destroyed in the war. I still live in hope one or two pieces were published or escaped the destruction. He wrote other symphonies called Fleurs du mal, and Promethee!!!
Thanks for these bits -- am enjoying hearing the music of a man who was just a name I encountered many times in the past.
