Władysław Szpilman - Mazurka in F Minor (1942)

Mazurka in F Minor is a Chopinesque miniature piece written by Władysław Szpilman, Polish pianist and Holocaust survivor, in the year 1942 while working at the Café Sztuka on Leszno Street in the Warsaw Ghetto. During the German occupation of Poland, the Nazis declared Chopin’s music verboten because of its dangerous and highly inspirational nationalism. As a result, Szpilman wrote an original counterfeit in Chopin’s style to circumvent the ban. Later that very year, the Germans loaded his entire family onto trains and carted them off to the gas chambers of Treblinka. Only a stroke of luck (the first of many) saved Władysław’s life; a Jewish collaborator in the Ghetto Police grabbed him and threw him out of the cordon that herded all the others to the collection points. Szpilman would never see his mother, father, brother, and two sisters again. After a series of miraculous close calls and thanks to his split-second decisions, underground contacts willing to harbor him, and a benevolent German officer disillusioned with the Nazi regime, the Pianist outlived the most disastrous liquidation of his people since the era of Haman and Esther. Unfortunately, the aforementioned German officer who aided Szpilman, by the name of Wilhelm Hosenfeld, was tortured to death by the Soviets after the war. The grateful Szpilman’s attempts to secure Hosenfeld’s release were all in vain. The Pianist lived a long life after the war, and died peacefully in 2000. Even during the worst of years of World War Two, he never stopped composing. Szpilman’s improbable survival, recorded in his memoirs, would be immortalized in a critically-acclaimed and award-winning movie in 2002. In 2008, the official Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, posthumously recognized Hosenfeld as one worthy of the “Righteous Among the Nations” distinction, due to being a Gentile who risked his position and life to rescue Jews. Wilhelm’s son, Detlev Hosenfeld, accepted the award on behalf of his late father, in 2009.
