Muzyczność (w) poezji. W kręgu Mickiewiczowskim i Moniuszkowskim

Abstract

Andrzej Hejmej, in one of his books devoted to the relationship between literature and music, poses important questions, namely “How does literature seduce music? And at the same time, how does music use literature? Why music pieces adapt works of literature? How do they coexist?”. The author also adds that “these questions only seem to be easy, but there is no universal answer.” The abovementioned issues are the subject of the present article. The research is conducted from the perspective of literary studies, including genological and, most importantly, versificational issues. The notions of musicality and vocality, which stem from linguistic order and are present in the work of the poets from the circle of Mickiewicz, which were adopted by Stanisław Moniuszko in his music, also seem to be important in this context. The article focuses on texts by poets who are not frequently analysed from this perspective, such as Jan Czeczot, Aleksander Chodźko, Antoni Kolankowski, Teofil Lenartowicz, Józef Massalski, Wincenty Pol, Jan Prusinowski, Władysław Syrokomla, Stefan Witwicki, Jan Zachariasiewicz, Józef Bohdan Zaleski.
