 Hubert Rutkowski is a prizewinner of Grand Prix at the Third Recording Competition "Forgotten Polish Music" by Acte Préalable. He made the first CD Recording with piano works of Julian Fontana in the history. The CD is realased as catalog number AP0160 and is available to buy. This CD is the 5th volume of the "Chopin's disciples" series.
Julian Fontana piano works
have a lot of completely new elements, which do not exist in F. Chopin
pieces. J. Fontana created his own orginal music dialect. For example "La
Havanne" op.10 includes a lot of spanish and american
motives. A very known motive, "La Jota Aragonesa", J. Fontana
used as a first composer in 1845. Ferenc Liszt also used this
spanish motive just 18 years later in 1863 in the “Rapsodie espagnol”.
Probably F. Liszt copied motiv "La Jota Aragonesa" from “La Havanne” op.
10 by J. Fontana (Prof. Jan Ekier’s hipothese). Julian Fontana as a first
composer used the motive of cubanian negro songs and mexican songs. He
added the programmatic titles to his compositions, for example: Souvenirs
de l'Ile de Cuba, Une Nuit des tropiques, Le lever du soleil, Souvenir de
Weber and others. J. Fontana composed 12 Reveries
(Etudes-Preludes) au piano op. 8. This is a refined music which
includes R. Schumann and F. Schubert elements.
