Leksyka muzyczna w "Traktacie o łuskaniu fasoli" Wiesława Myśliwskiego
Musical vocabulary in the novel Traktat o luskaniu fasoli by Wiesław Myśliwski

Summary/Abstract: The multifaceted phenomenon of music is a constitutive element of all novels by Wiesław Myśliwski. This study focuses on the basic musical vocabulary of the Treatise on Shelling Beans, which has been classified into the following three collections: 1) the process of creating music, 2) musical instruments, and 3) music as art. Within each of them, the vocabulary corresponding to the indicated set was excerpted, which allowed for a more precise grouping of the collected vocabulary, and each of the presented groups was supported by examples of the analyzed novel. For example, in the classification of the names of musical instruments, a scientific division has been adopted, consisting in assigning to a group according to the source of sound, and the names of music performers are presented in two basic collections: 1) as an executive body 2) individual musicians. Attention was also paid to an important stylistic function, especially given to instruments destroyed by the fire of war – they constitute a metaphorical reference to human fate.
