Zygmunt Mycielski established close contact with the editor-in-chief of the Kultura magazine during his visit to Paris in 1957, in the political thaw period. The following year his first piece was published in the periodical. In total, Kultura published ten of Mycielski’s texts, including the best known – “Letter to Czech and Slovak musicians”, published in October 1968, in response to the attack of the Warsaw Pact troops on Czechoslovakia. The home of Kultura in Maisons-Laffitte near Paris was also the home of Józef Czapski, who was very close to Mycielski, which is why during his visits to the French capital the composer would also visit this important émigré centre of free thought about Poland. On many occasions he talked with Giedroyc about politics, providing him with information about the situation in Poland. In the 1980s he prepared for him a selection of Józef Piłsudski’s writings, which were not published in the end, however. After Mycielski’s death Kultura published a tribute to the composer written by Stefan Kisielewski.
