The stylistic panorama of the 20th century music is notable for an aesthetic variety of works by different composers and compositional schools. This fact is corroborated by the ambiguity and plurality of musical cultures, made manifest by certain artistic trends and tendencies transpiring during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As the century progressed, certain artistic tendencies underwent a transformation and evolved into other stylistic novelties. The works for the accordion by Ukrainian composers display folk-like influences and project an array of aesthetic approaches to the idea of musical personification. This is most clearly expressed in the way the composer: (1) borrows the material from folklore; (2) appeals to lyrical, psychological, expressive and figurative characteristics of work of art with the expression of the process-emotional nature of person’s “inner world”; (3) experiments with associative references such as, intonation, intonemas, and grief; (4) employs programmatic narrative; (5) uses epigraph and musical quotes; and (6) makes clear references to the genres and techniques of baroque and, occasionally, early classical music

The article covers the years 1916 to 2006, i.e. from Karol Szymanowski’s Twelve Etudes Op. 33 (1916) to Krzysztof Baculewski’s Twelve Etudes (2006). During the period under examination piano etudes were written by many Polish composers. Those by Szymanowski, Witold Lutosławski, Andrzej Panufnik, Grażyna Bacewicz and Bolesław Woytowicz are considered to be most representative. In the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty first century, the etude has not been an anachronic genre, as evidenced by the constant flow of new works penned by composers. These include both works in which the organization of the musical material draws on tradition and those which explore the techniques of twentieth century-music. The neo-classical trend exerted a far-reaching influence on the character and stylistic features of Polish piano etudes of the first half of the twentieth century. Works by Lutosławski, Bacewicz, Woytowicz, Szeligowski, and to some extent by Panufnik can serve as examples. The etudes by Lutosławski and Bacewicz are beyond doubt of the most outstanding artistic merit. They are part of the concert repertoire and are among the most frequently performed Polish 20th-century etudes. The etudes of Norbert Mateusz Kuźnik, Andrzej Hundziak and Franciszek Woźniak employ the techniques typical of new music, such as a new type of notation, and therefore belong to the avantgarde and post-avantgarde group. Post-modernist Two Etudes by Paweł Szymański also belongs to this group. The work is a good example of ‘sur-conventionality’, a style that is characteristic of Szymański’s music. The etudes by Polish composers, particularly contemporary ones, are used all too rarely as instruction pieces in Polish music schools. They are also rarely included in recital programmes. The reasons should be looked for in the lack of adequate preparation of both the students and teachers, as well as in an insufficient knowledge and understanding of 20th-century music. All this results in a reluctance to explore this part of the Polish musical heritage.

After decades of absence from Polish musical culture, the music of Alexandre Tansman is now returning to the country’s concert halls. Orchestras, chamber ensembles and soloists are eagerly turning to his rich and varied output, which is also increasingly being explored in academic research and studies of various kinds. Despite this growing interest, there are still some areas of Tansman’s legacy that have not been adequately researched. They certainly include his ballet music. This brief report aims to systematise existing knowledge concerning Tansman’s ballets, list the key sources for their study, and outline research perspectives. There are numerous arguments to support the thesis that ballet was an important field of work for this composer. Among other things, he collaborated with eminent choreographers (Rudolf Laban, Kurt Jooss, Jean Börlin), and his ballets were staged at famous venues (Metropolitan Opera, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées). Some of them, such as Sextuor and La Grande Ville [The big city], gained immense popularity and were repeatedly performed in Europe and the United States. Apart from composing original ballet music, Tansman worked with choreographers to adapt his symphonic works for dance spectacles. His enduring friendship with Igor Stravinsky may also have been significant in the context of his ballet output. Preliminary archive research conducted thanks to the support of the composer’s daughters has turned up sources that may serve as the basis for further studies. Music autographs kept at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (both sketches and engraver’s manuscripts), as well as score editions, recordings and such historical records as letters, reviews and iconography may, despite some gaps, make a full-scale study of Alexandre Tansman’s ballet output possible in the future.

Po dekadach nieobecności w polskiej kulturze muzycznej, twórczość Aleksandra Tansmana powraca na rodzime sale koncertowe. Do bogatego i różnorodnego dorobku kompozytora chętnie sięgają orkiestry, zespoły kameralne i soliści. Jego muzyka jest również coraz częściej tematem badań naukowych i różnego rodzaju opracowań. Pomimo rosnącego zainteresowania Tansmanem, wciąż jednak pozostają obszary, które nie zostały należycie zbadane. Do nich należy z pewnością jego twórczość baletowa. Celem niniejszego komunikatu jest próba uporządkowania dotychczasowej wiedzy na temat baletów Aleksandra Tansmana, wykazanie podstawowych źródeł do ich opracowania oraz zarysowanie perspektyw badawczych. Liczne argumenty pozwalają przypuszczać, że balet był ważnym obszarem działalności kompozytora. Należą do nich chociażby wybitne nazwiska choreografów, z którymi współpracował (Rudolf Laban, Kurt Jooss, Jean Börlin), czy sceny, na których były wystawiane jego dzieła (Metropolitan Opera w Nowym Jorku, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées w Paryżu). Niektóre, tak jak Sextuor czy La Grande Ville (The Big City), osiągnęły ogromną popularność i były wielokrotnie prezentowane na scenach Europy i Stanów Zjednoczonych. Oprócz komponowania baletów z muzyką oryginalną, Tansman w porozumieniu z choreografami adaptował również swoją muzykę symfoniczną do przedstawień tanecznych. Niebagatelne znaczenie w kontekście baletu mogła mieć także jego bliska, trwająca wiele lat przyjaźń z Igorem Strawińskim. Pierwsze kwerendy, przeprowadzone dzięki wsparciu córek kompozytora, wykazały źródła będące podstawą do dalszych badań. Przechowywane w Bibliothèque nationale de France autografy muzyczne, zarówno szkicowe jak i edycyjne, a także wydania partytur, nagrania oraz dokumenty historyczne, takie jak listy, recenzje czy materiał ikonograficzny, mimo pewnych braków, mogą w przyszłości posłużyć do przeprowadzenia pełnowymiarowego opracowania twórczości baletowej Aleksandra Tansmana.
