Podążając śladami dźwiękowej wyobraźni. Muzyka Witolda Lutosławskiego w słuchowiskach Polskiego Radia
On the Trail of an Auditory Imagination. Witold Lutosławski’s Music in Radio Plays Produced by Polish Radio

Summary/Abstract: Lutosławski’s music for radio remains one of the least studied areas of his functional composition work. He started working for Polish Radio in 1945. Initially Head of the Classical Music Department, he soon became the composer of music for radio plays. He continued writing music for radio broadcasts until 1960, even though his full-time work for Polish Radio had ended in 1958. Over that period, about 86 broadcasts featuring his music were aired, from which 33 recordings (in Warsaw archives) and 46 scores (in Basle) have survived. The incomplete state of preservation of the sources continues to hinder the reconstruction of this repertoire, including establishing the precise chronology and the names of the authors and directors. Despite these difficulties, in many cases it has been possible to verify a large amount of information concerning this output.
