This book provides a biographical sketch of Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) and explores the relationship between his two piano triptychs - Métopes, op. 29, and Masques, op. 34 - and the literary characters evoked by each of their movements: the Sirens, Calypso and Nausicaa (from Homer’s 'Odyssey'), Sheherazade (from 'The Arabian Nights'), Tristan (from Ernst Hardt’s play 'Tantris der Narr'), and Don Juan (not associated to a specific source), discussing the multiple strategies used by the composer to convey his subject matter.
