GRA, dedicated to Witold Lutoslawski (1913-94), is both an embodiment of its title (‘gra’ means play in Polish), and a portrait of the great Polish composer, on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

“All I say is that non-experts often know more than experts and should therefore be consulted and that prophets of truth (including those who use arguments) more often than not are carried along by a visions that clashes with the very events that vision is supposed to be exploring.
