Utwory fletowe Johanna Wilhelma Gabrielskiego — ogólna charakterystyka oraz problem ich wartości i recepcji
Flute music by Johann Wilhelm Gabrielski — a general characteristic, questions of value and reception

Summary/Abstract: Johann Wilhelm Gabrielski (1791—1846, born and died in Berlin) is interesting not only because of his Polish origin but first of all due to the fact that he was one of the greatest flute virtuosos of the 19th century as well as a composer of numerous pieces for this instrument (over 100 opuses). Today, however, not only the musicologists but even the flautists, both concert musicians and teachers of flute-playing, do not know anything about him. The paper offers a general presentation of Gabrielski’s music, among them pieces in a concert style (i.a. five "Concertos"), pieces for music making at home, for amateur performances, and some that even today can be used for didactic purposes. The questions of value and reception of Gabrielski’s music are also considered.
