Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to elaborate the discoursive aspects of cultural communication, taking into account the case of 16th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition (Warsaw 2010). The focal point of the analysis is the nature and dynamics of public discourse on music. The crucial questions are: how symbolic elites, media and public - involved in the process of communication in public sphere – create discourse on music and music taste; how do they use strategies of argumentation and negotiate the value of musical performance; what are the performative aspects of communication (distribution of symbolic capital); what is the nature of contemporary media communication on cultural events (crucial role of multimedia).
