The
Polish Music Information Center has provided the following list of compositions
that are pre-1956 and usually associated with André's membership
in the Polish Composers' Union. In the left panel are images of two
fragments that survived: a Nocturne (1948) that Andrzej marked, Opus
1, Number 1, and dedicated to his grandmother Celina: and then one of
his (12) Etudes that he wrote to develop certain aspects of his piano
technique. The location of the manuscripts of the other compositions
are unknown.
| Nocturne
(1948) [Dedicated to his grandmother as Opus 1 No. 1] |
| Etude
(1949) |
| Introduction
et scherzo de la sonata en mi mineur (1949) |
| Variations
sur le Prélude de Chopin en do mineur (1949) |
| Six
Fantaisies (1949) |
| Ten
Etudes for piano (1949) |
| Sonata
in G-major for Piano (1949) |
| Prelude,
Cavatina, Waltz, and Lullaby for piano (1950) |
| Violin
Concerto (1950) |
| Concerto
for Flute and Orchestra (1950) |
| Variations
on a Theme of Cohen for piano (1950) |
| Prelude
and Fugue for piano (1953) [won a prize] |
| Two
Preludes for piano (1954) |
| Two
Etudes for piano (1955) |
| Song
for soprano and piano (1955) |
The
exception to the list above is a Symphony (1958), but there is no known
manuscript and if this did exist, it may have been destroyed after André
moved from Paris to London in the early 1960s. This is because André
told his Aunt Mala in Paris to destroy the large box he left behind
and Mala's son, Charles Fortier, reported that Aunt Mala did, indeed,
throw the box into the trash. According to friends, André felt
that his compositions from 1957 and 1958 were overly influenced by his
studies with Nadia Boulanger at the American Conservatory in Fontainebleau
and did not express his true compositional voice.
