Górecki lives in Katowice. He is a rare guest in Warsaw – usually he comes to the capital once a year, at the time of the Warsaw Autumn Festival. About his work, his plans and his achievements, he is reluctant to talk. By the same token, the promotion of performances of his works is not a matter with which he concerns himself, maintaining as he does that a score, and especially one that is published and therefore available to all who are interested in it, speaks for itself adequately enough to stimulate possible performers, or else leaves them cold.
