Abstracts

EN

Three essays from a book about Baroque music (Kwintesencje. Pasaże barokowe) deal with the “dark semantics” of compositions by John Rowland, Carl Gould, and Matthias Beckmann. The author portrayed Baroque music as a “speech of sounds” and followed its expression potential, in particular as regards the capacity to convey extreme states and emotions (sadness, despair, melancholy and death).
