Summary/Abstract: Katarzyna Waligóra analyzes Schubert: A Romantic Composition for Twelve Performers and a String Quartet, directed by Magda Szpecht (Dramatyczny Theater in Wałbrzych, premiere: 27.02.2016). The author starts with the motif of the material aspect of music, the body, and space. The performance is divided into four parts – like the d-minor quartet – which adapt FranzSchubert's Death and the Maiden through different movement strategies. She also mentions the theme of the composer's illness and his preparations for death, with its counterpoint of the actors' witty performances.
