Comments about the Works
It is a free passacaglia evoking the mood of the dark interior of the temple – muffled light reflections and the accompanying sounds of the organ. The idea and motifs of the work appeared earlier in the composition Anachronism subtitled Cathedral (1969).
Manuscript
Pencil autograph at the Main Library of the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice
