Cytat muzyczny jako sposób komunikowania między współczesnym kompozytorem a odbiorcą

Abstract

Music citation is used by contemporary composers for specific semantic-expressive purposes. A composer, hoping that the citation will be recognised by the listeners, and associated with the particular type of music used, at the same time, modifies interpretation of the content of further parts of the composition. Citation is thus an intentional phenomenon — it functions correctly only when proper intention of the listener is directed towards it. The focus of the article is on the concept of effective communication between the composer and the listener, with the use of a music citation. The author uses opinions of contemporary musicians and observations of contemporary music analysts.
