Dzieło i odbiorca w teoretycznej myśli muzycznej Krzysztofa Pendereckiego
Work and reception in a theoretical music thought by Krzysztof Penderecki

Summary/Abstract: A desire of synthesis and willingness to combine the multitude of experiences is a desire of contemporary man. Each epoch of the past left its recognizable language. A modern creator, despite his/her endeavours for universalism, is torn and alienated. A conscious reference to tradition has become a chance of overcoming a discord between an artist and receiver. The subject-matter of the relations between an artistic work and the audience, being the work reception, is one of the main themes included in a theoretical reflection by Krzysztof Penderecki, man for whom music is not only a sphere of a theoretical interest, but, above all, a real material and effect of his own work. The article presents composer’s theoretical considerations included in the book "Labirynt czasu. Pięć wykładów na koniec wieku" published in 1997 by the publishing house of “Rzeczpospolita”, as well as in an interview conducted with the composer by Mieczysław Tomaszewski entitled "Penderecki. Bunt i wyzwolenie". Vol. 1. "Rozpętanie żywiołów" published in 2008.
