Language / Is My Painting Title Correct In Polish? [23]

"Pieśń" is more appropriate for the type of music. "Piosenka" refers to a more contemporary piece, e.g. a pop song. Both however, refer to singing rather than playing. Therefore, my suggestion would be: 600-letnia muzyka. My predecessor's proposition of "Muzyka od sześciuset lat" implies that music started 600 years ago, which is not the case. Also, I would suggest to replace "autor" with: wykonawca dzieła: Tony Johansen, as I understand you're a painter rather than a composer and it would also preserve your name intact.

Tony Johansen (19xx - present)

Agreed. It proves the importance of the context.

"Sześć stuleci muzyki" (Six Centuries of Music)

Well, this is not a faithful rendition of the original title, it it? It puts emphasis on the music through the ages rather than the particular piece that the painting depicts. It's up to the author how close to the original he wants to be.

News / Polish teenager gives birth live on British TV [15]

That's what the increasing numbers of British citizens are made off. Not even 10 years ago it would've been branded scandalous, but nowadays everything goes. And it's not even the graphic images of child birth I refer to, but the type of people who come over to the UK to breed. It might be better if you don't speak Polish, as you don't want to hear the "colourful" language they speak.

What I take issue with is not the cameras in the maternity hospital, but the low standards and expectations of that girl. If you were to see the whole programme, you'd get a better insight into it, e.g.: see the the above video at timeline 33.34.
