The Fryderyk is the annual award in Polish music. Its name refers to the original Polish spelling variant of Polish composer Frédéric Chopin's first name. Its status in the Polish public can be compared to the American Grammy and the UK's BRIT Award. Officially created in 1994 and presented for the first time in 1995, the award was initially conferred by the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry (Związek Producentów Audio-Video, ZPAV). Since 1999, nominees and winners have been selected by a body called Phonographic Academy (Akademia Fonograficzna) which by now consists of nearly 1000 artists, journalists and music industry professionals. Voting is anonymous and takes place in two rounds: In the first round, all Academy members can nominate five artists in each category, in the second round, members can vote for one candidate in each category from the most successful nominees established in the first round.
The Fryderyk statuette is reminiscent of the Academy Awards' "Oscar", but with wings, arms stretched backwards, and with headphones. The statuette was designed and created by Dorota Dziekiewicz-Pilich.

Genres: Biography, Musical,White owl
Now the railroad's ending
Cracked iron
'Neath the power line
Fir trees
Growin' a tunnel making
Swept away
Now the birds run these grounds
The trampoline
In the quiet mansion
The black heart
On the dead man's skin
The fountaineer
And the frozen fountain
His right chin
On your pale blue skin right now
Black owls
Up in the ballroom painting
Your silhouette
On the moodham floor
No one here
But the fir trees remember
The coal train
