Summary/Abstract: “The monograph Sztuka i jej wartości (Art and its values) presents both art and values in three well-integrated parts: theoretical considerations focused on art, a practical approach towards art – the way it personally affects one and the way it is experienced and created – and the process of broadly understood aesthetic education. . . . Talking about art, we come very close to issues connected with its individual branches, both traditional and modern. We can also look for the values it brings on various levels: in already completed works of art, in the creative act itself, in interpretation, and in the act of reception. This multifaceted presence of values in art is evidence of both its richness and the vast possibilities it offers, and points to the need to implement it in education.” From a review by Prof. Elżbieta Szubertowska.

- Keywords:neo‑Scholasticism; beauty; art; aesthetics education; Kazimierz Kowalski; Karol Górski; Barbara Żulińska
- Summary/Abstract:In the neo‑scholastic perspective, beauty is construed as the property of being and a feature of reality and human production, including art. It could be found in people’s ways of being and cultural heritage under the name of harmony, perfection or brilliance. The study of beauty is subject to the basic principles of the study of metaphysics. Beauty is an important factor in the development of identity: it uplifts and ennobles. The love of beauty includes rest, respite necessary for the human development. Art itself, not bound by the virtue of prudence, does not aim at improving the human subject, but it is concerned with the work of art itself. It is precisely because of this fact that the neo‑ Scholasticists perceive a conflict between morality and art; that danger, however, can be avoided if the artist is endowed with their own ethic, which contributes to an unwitting creation of ethical works. Art is without a doubt extremely important for the functioning of society and therefore should fulfill its social obligation through aesthetics education and making beauty, truth and goodness available to people from all walks of life.

- Page Range:36-51
- No. of Pages:16
- Keywords:Szymanowski; intertextuality; dialogue; quotations; borrowings
- Summary/Abstract:The author approaches the works of Karol Szymanowski—treated both as a subject and as an object—in an intertextual dialogue within the field of music. The article begins with a quick overview of intertextuality as a concept. The main aim of the article is to highlight the intertextual references to Szymanowski’s music. Those references, according to the author, are of a twofold nature: they can be either found in the works of Szymanowski themselves, through quotations, borrowings and styling his music after other composers (the subjective aspect), or they can be traced to works of other 20th‑century composers, who referred toSzymanowski’s oeuvre in their own music (the objective aspect). This analysis, in turn, leads to the conclusion that a lively dialogue between various texts of music constitutes a guarantee of the pleasure which comes from listening as well as an indisputable value in the domain of art.

- Keywords:Methodical Sonatas; Georg Philipp Telemann; Johann Joachim Quantz; instrumental music teaching
- Summary/Abstract:In the Baroque period of the 17th and 18th centuries, several excellent tractates that focused on the instrumental early music performance were printed. Alongside them, the published methodical early music was devoted to particular problems of instrumental performance. The example of that are Methodical Sonatas for Violin or Flute and Basso Continuo by Georg Philipp Telemann. They deal with quite a serious problem of ornamentation while drawing inspiration from the principles of the mixed – German style. Their methodical quality lies in the fact that the author writes their compositions in one line in the form the compositions are commonly written, while in the line beneath they add the recommended ways of ornamentation. In addition, they also serve as the methodical guide for a precise assignment of the period tempo at which the verbal expression had a different meaning than in the present time. In this sense we can benefit from the tractate by Johann Joachim Quantz entitled Attempt to Create Manual of Playing Diagonal Flute.

- No. of Pages:5
- Keywords:vocal art; interpretation; speaking and singing voice; tempo; dynamism; pitch; phrase
- Summary/Abstract:The article constitutes an attempt at the broad issue of an artistic rendition of a song in the vocal aspect. The above ruminations allow to conclude that its sonic characteristics (tempo, dynamism, pitch and timbre) are consistent with the emotional content of speech and singing; hence, it is relatively easy to tune the voice to the content of speech and singing. The article emphasizes the process of selection of these elements, which can be of interest to all kinds of performers (soloists, conductors, choirs) in the process of their own artistic rendition of the song. All previous formulations or repeated statements have been drawn from practical application and that is the model to which they should return. It does not mean, therefore, that we should obey strict rules, but rather that we should carefully considerthe aforementioned issues.

The members of Kurant and Deha are passionate, academically inclined people who know their goals and are open to new technologies. They treat their extracurricular activities like a journey, in which each stage constitutes a challenge on the road to self-fulfillment and search for beauty.

- Summary/Abstract:The hearing of sound is a natural physiological process of each healthy person. This process is not equivalent with the process of the perception of music. Listening to music is a complex psychological process which leads to aesthetic experiences in a sophisticated manner. The perception of music is the ability to receive, to distinguish the pitch of tones and to understand sound relations, which at the same time is applied in musical education and which influences ear training. This difference is just one of the elements of a multi-faceted structural phenomenon which is called perception of music. The term musical reception should be understood as the perception of dynamics, timbre, key, rhythmic, melodic and harmonic properties, intervals between tones and metric values. The role of a teacher of musicconsists in the selection of didactic methods and procedures in order to teach studentsto perceive music in the process of musical education.
