Slopiwenie (5), Op. 46bis is a set of five piano pieces composed by Karol Szymanowski in 1924. The premiere of the work took place in Warsaw on January 22, 1925, with the composer himself performing. The five movements of Slopiwenie (5), Op. 46bis are characterized by their dreamy and impressionistic qualities, with Szymanowski's use of chromaticism and dissonance creating a sense of ambiguity and mystery. The first movement, Lento, is marked by its lyrical melodies and delicate harmonies, while the second movement, Vivace, is more energetic and playful, with its rapid arpeggios and syncopated rhythms. The third movement, Andantino, is perhaps the most introspective of the set, with its haunting melodies and melancholic harmonies. The fourth movement, Allegro molto, is marked by its virtuosic piano writing, with Szymanowski's use of rapid scales and arpeggios creating a sense of frenzied excitement. The final movement, Lento, is a return to the dreamy and impressionistic qualities of the first movement, with its gentle melodies and delicate harmonies creating a sense of peacefulness and tranquility. Overall, Slopiwenie (5), Op. 46bis is a masterful example of Szymanowski's unique style, with its use of chromaticism, dissonance, and impressionistic harmonies creating a sense of ambiguity and mystery that is both captivating and haunting.
