„Użycza mu słuchu, czasu, cierpienia, wszystkiego, co przewidziała”. Muzyka w twórczości Stanisława Barańczaka
“They Will Lend Me Hearing, Time, Suffering, All She Has Forseen”. Music in Stanisław Barańczak’s Literary Works

Summary/Abstract: Language, in Stanisław Barańczak’s poetry, parallel to adding a metaphysic sphere to the horizon of lyrical penetration, looses its former axiomatic value. With the weakening of the role of a word (seen as a mediator of transcendence), a reflection on music is born in the poetry. In poems "Kontrapunkt [Counterpoint]", "Z okna na którymś piętrze ta aria Mozarta [From a window on some floor this Mozart’s aria]", "Tenorzy [Tenors]" or "Hi-Fi" we can talk about one, comprehensive philosophical project of music. If there is in this poetry a hint that allows for an insight into the metaphysical sphere, it is not a word, but sound. Music in this poetry is perceived as something the root of which is neither in human genius nor in history. It is presented in such a way that it could encompass the whole reality both as existence (determining the identity of the self) and essence.
