We are living in the time of intertextuality, when — following Mikhail Bakhtin — every expression is saturated with a resonance of dialogue. Therefore, to understand the style of an artistic expression, we should also consider its imminent dialogic quality. The article presents the works of Polish composers, beginning with Karol Szymanowski, from the perspective of six intertextual strategies elicited from the concept of Stanisław Balbus (Między stylami/Between Styles), a Polish literary theoretician. They are: (1) “active continuation” (adaptation of past models); (2) “restitu-tion of the form” (conscious reference to a form present within the field of cultural awareness, due to its formal fitness for the taken up expressive tasks); (3) “open imitation of models” (a model is perceived as an authoritative vehicle for values); (4) “a stylistic reminiscence” (a “memory” of the model under the brand of an individual statement) (5) “cultural transposition of a theme” (the transmigration of motifs, themes, and significant gestures, the phenomenon of the active topoi); (6) “styling” (the key type of intertextuality, emphasising the nature of intertextual and interstylistic connections). Looking at the Polish music of the 20th and the first decade of the 21st century, a number of general claims favoured by the intertextual perspective can be made. (1) Polish music set in tradition: tradition perceived as an inter-text, and building an inter-context for the pieces created. (2) Reinforced at the foundations of the Polish music created “here and now” is the sense of dialogue, opening to the other. (3) The value of the work as such is emphasised in Polish music. (4) Against the preached concepts of “the death of the author” or “the weak subject”, a powerful need for the creation of own style is still present. (5) As an inter-text, the work becomes even stronger semantically loaded.

The paper is an attempt to investigate the possibilities and limitations connected with the unreflective adaptation of the concept of intertexuality, worked out by theoreticians of literature, to musicological research. The author is especially interested in assessing in that sense the concept of the relationships between literary styles proposed by Stanisław Balbus in the book Between Styles, which is currently the source of inspiration for many Polish musicologists. The starting point of the reflection is recalling the doubts addressed by Tibor Kneif already in the 1970s, as far as the reasonableness of using the achievements of semiotics by musicologists is concerned. Going further, the author enters into discussion with some Polish musicologists who use the proposals of intertextuality researchers, e.g. Balbus’, quite too hastily, and examines the examples of sub-mitting by them as intertextual musical works in which one can not find in fact any intertextual relations. The author describes as unreasonable the procedure of presenting the musical works based on borrowings as especially worthy in the sense of their connection with the tradition. The danger lies here in the fact of how easily objective analysis can be replaced with ideology. The author also reminds that most of extra-textual relationships in musical works can be describedusing the traditional tools of musicological analysis — aimed at searching the autonomous sense of music.
