Simplicity and directness of expression, color versatility and some extent
of repetitivism are attractive features describing Beata's music. Her
language of sound is also very descriptive, imaginative, free, facile, and
accessible to a diverse audience. Beata's mission is to open "mental space"
with music: to let humans imagine, open their minds and let them be
directed by their own imagination. Beata Golec stresses: "My intention is
not to make my audience be bound by what I envision but to let them imagine
anything; to stimulate brain activity in the listener which promotes a
strong psychological and physical experience".
She adds: “Color versatility is a crucial component of my musical language:
various registers represent different color features; every harmony creates
a different color, and it is important for the performers to seek out and
express this uniqueness. Voicing, articulation, and pedaling all work
together to enhance the vivid color effects.”
Prelude for Piano No.2, Toccata for piano solo, and "Forests" for piano
