Oberek No. 1

Composer: BACEWICZ, Grażyna
  • Bacewicz wrote Oberek No. 1 [pronunciation], a piece for violin and piano, in 1949.
  • The short work adapts a traditional Polish dance that is often described as a very lively mazurka. The dance is vivacious and acrobatic. Learn more about the Oberek here.
  • Fun fact – Bacewicz wrote Oberek No. 1 as a last-minute encore piece that she would perform at a concert the following evening.1
