| | Polish Music Journal 5.2.02 - Piduch: The Soul of Poland in Music |
 | | Music belongs to the most subtle and most sensitive organs of the soul, and as such, it is necessarily controlled by the most subtle and tender activity of the human intellect. |
 | | In Polish music, to speak in plain terminology, when we hear one melody, we love it, when we hear another, we love that too, when we hear another, we love it also, and so on, until - until our brains seem to be awhirl with that certain, unexplainable feeling of - pleasurable pain. |
 | | Thus Poland, baptized in fire and surrounded with the sweet melancholy of Nature, gave birth to a music of "a strange philosophy." She gave birth to a music that is simple and grand. |
