The article explains how ideas, characters and images borrowed from literary works and of fine arts are represented in Liszt’s the piano works of (i.e. with the help of motives, themes and narrative strategies). I. The first level of analysis concerns the typology of basic elements in the new lisztian forms: A. Four types of musical motives or figures and their signifieds (semes). B. Sixteen types of musical themes with their signifieds (classemes). C. Considering the great parts or sections of a piece we discovered seven types with their signifieds (isotopies). II. The second level of analysis consists in the presentation of three types of narrative strategies. The narrative strategy would mean the conscious organization of concatenation of the above mentioned signifying elements. A. The “figurative strategy” refers to the formal variation [‘Formalvariation” in German] of onetheme, or of one “thematic complex” (theme introduced and followed by expressive describing motives or refrain), for example: Sposalizio. B. The “simple narrative strategy” consists in a succession of character variations [‘Charaktervariation’], i.e. variation in the musical genre, in the signified of one musical theme (for example: Vallee d’Obermanri). C. The “complex narrative strategy” describes the structures which combine sonata form, cyclical sonata in four movements and variation form. This strategy implies that a whole thematic complex (exposition) is submitted to different stages of the character variation (for example: Dante sonata, Sonata in B minor, 2nd Ballade in B minor, etc.).

This article analyzes three plays published by Gennaro Sacco, a dell’arte actor-playwright who visited the Polish royal court in 1699. Sacco became famous for his role as Coviello. He initially performed in Naples, then in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula, and, like many Italian actors, he offered his talent to various European rulers (in Celle, Warsaw, Madrid). We hardly know anything about his stay at the Warsaw court of king Augustus II; there are no sources that would reveal the repertoire or the names of troupe members. What is extant, however, is the dramatic text of Commedia smascherata, ovvero i comici esaminati, published in Warsaw. The analysis of this play against the background of its two predecessors, published by Sacco in Italy more than a decade earlier, contributes to our knowledge of role structure, distribution, and variation in dell’arte theater. It also helps identify the impact of local conditions on the work of travelling Italian dell’arte artists.

Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza trzech utworów dramatycznych wydanych przez aktora-autora teatru dell’arte, Gennara Sacca, który gościł na dworze polskim w 1699 roku. Sacco zasłynął z roli Coviella. Początkowo grał w Neapolu, potem na północy Półwyspu Apenińskiego i jak wielu włoskich aktorów oferował swój talent różnym władcom europejskim (w Celle, Warszawie, Madrycie). Prawie nic nie wiemy o jego pobycie na warszawskim dworze Augusta II, brakuje źródeł na temat repertuaru oraz składu osobowego zespołu. Zachował się jednak opublikowany w Warszawie tekst dramatyczny Commedia smascherata, ovvero i comici esaminati. Przeprowadzona w artykule analiza tej sztuki na tle dwóch poprzednich wydanych przez aktora ponad dziesięć lat wcześniej we Włoszech poszerza wiedzę o strukturze, dystrybucji i wariantowości ról w teatrze dell’arte. Przyczynia się także do określenia wpływu lokalnych warunków na sztukę włoskich artystów dell’arte przemieszczających się między ośrodkami.
