Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses Julia Hartwig’s poetic texts in which she focuses on the prominent classical and pop musicians (composers as well as performers, such as Ludwig van Beethoven and Janis Joplin). In Tomasz Cyz’s interview with Hartwig, she claims that “the origin, creation and the performance of music is always more interesting than the humanity”. However, it appears that in her poems, Hartwig is in fact more interested in musicians’ humanity, their behavior and various features which usually seem to be neglected when those great musicians’ work is appreciated. In this article, I am examine the construction and purpose of Hartwig’s “case studies”.
