He was inspired by contemporary literature and he liked to use a quotation (Johann Sebastian Bach, Karol Szymanowski, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki). He was capable of creating an unusual climate with a considerable amount of expression ranging from spontaneous (Concerto for Orchestra) to lyrical and contemplative (Second Symphony, Third String Quartet).
