Biennial Prize Is Awarded for Best Article on Polish Studies
LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Aquila Polonica Publishing is thrilled to announce that Barbara Milewski, Daniel Underhill Professor of Music at Swarthmore College, and Bret Werb, Music Collection Curator at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, have won the 2023 Aquila Polonica Article Prize for their article "Chopin's Żydek, and Other Apocryphal Tales," Journal of Musicology (2022) 39 (3): 342–370.
The biennial Aquila Polonica Article Prize is given to the author(s) of the best English-language article published during the previous two years on any aspect of Polish studies. Administered by the Polish Studies Association ("PSA"), which appoints the independent judges, the award carries a $500 honorarium donated by Aquila Polonica Publishing.
About the Winning Article:
Through an in-depth and robust analysis, Barbara Milewski and Bret Werb explore the attitude of Fryderyk Chopin to Jewish music. Drawing on a rich array of sources, they trace the birth and development of the narrative that has seen Chopin as genuinely interested and inspired by Jewish musical traditions.

The article is engaging and beautifully written, and offers a compelling model of an interdisciplinary analysis that uncovers historical realities that broaden our understanding of central themes in Polish studies.

"It is our very great pleasure to congratulate Professor Milewski and Mr. Werb. We also want to congratulate our two honorable mentions, Tomasz Frydel at the Mandel Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies, US Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Karolina Watroba at All Souls College, University of Oxford," said Aquila Polonica president Terry Tegnazian. "And of course, we wish to thank this year's prize committee, which consisted of Natalia Jarska, Chair, Robert Pyrah and Agata Tumiłowicz-Mazur, for their hard work and thoughtful commentary."
