ABSTRACT
The best-known published violin–piano transcriptions of Szymanowski’s music are those by his close violinist-friend Paweł Kochański. These include Chant de Roxanne [Roxanna’s Song] from the opera Król Roger, Op. 46; Taniec Harnasiów [Dance from Harnasie] from the ballet Harnasie, Op. 55; and Pieśń kurpiowska [Kurpian Song] from Pieśni kurpiowskie [Twelve Kurpian Songs], Op. 58.
