Zdzisław Piernik (Polish: [ˈzd͡ʑiswaf ˈpiɛrɲk]; born 10 November 1937) in Toruń is a Polish virtuoso tuba player.[4]


Biography

Zdzisław Piernik graduated from the Warsaw Academy of Music in the class of Juliusz Pietrachowicz [pl].[5] After being awarded at the 1970 National Festival of Young Musicians in Gdańsk[6][7] he began his career as a soloist. Shortly afterwards he acquire success at recitals in the country and abroad, at festivals and holiday courses in Bayreuth, Witten, Darmstadt, Bourges, Stockholm, Los Angeles.

He was the first tubist in Poland to implement flageolets, glissandos, frullatos and chords into his playing. He also began sonoristic experiments with prepared tuba.[8] He is the inventor of the original preparation, remodelling the instrument to sound far from its natural tone.

He worked closely with many composers demonstrating them the capabilities of the tuba, natural and prepared. As a soloist Zdzisław Piernik has taken part in hundreds of symphonic and chamber concerts, with extremely varied repertoire, starting from classical with his own transcriptions, ending with the newest acquisitions of contemporary music and his own compositions.[7] His concerts, recordings and broadcasts for Polish Radio[9][10] and television popularized playing on the tuba.

Zdzisław Piernik is designated as Lifetime Achievement Honorees of International Tuba Euphonium Association.[11]

He is still active, playing concerts and giving lectures.[12][13]

The humorously "heroic" character of this piece is most evident in its fast tempo and brisk rhythmic motion, both quite at odds with the natural qualities of the instrument. Capriccio per tuba calls for brilliant technique. Its greatest difficulty lies in performing large interval leaps, of which there are plenty in the melodic line as the music moves regularly from low to high register and back. The composition poses an enormous challenge for the player, but for the listener it is pure pleasure to hear.
