Summary/Abstract: Annotations of musical pieces are one of the most significant keys unlocking doors to music comprehensions, presupposing structural, poetical,social, existential aspects. Having replaced dominated conventions of centuries, epistolary and diary-alike texts had been used as the primary reference sources and explanatory discourses, ideas of composers transfer into the shape of "mandatory order": annotations of CDs, festivals and other contexts eventually became and are still in the process of becoming an integrated axis of academic articles. An annotation produced before a musical piece, in a process of writing it or whether it appeared after the last decorative touches on the score, due to the input of a literary component the author's music becomes the wider discourse of the sound map that reflects different sound systems and their signs, portrays causative links to the birth of a musical piece, the addressee, etc. The annotations of four Lithuanian composers Kairaityte, Vasiliauskaite, Remesa, Navakas devoted to neo-romantic esthetics were chosen to be considered in this paper.The parallels between the tradition of genre and librogenre in the view of annotations is revealed as a communicative code and dichotomous state.
