Muzyka w przedwojennej twórczości poetyckiej Konstantego Ildefonsa Gałczyńskiego

The article analyzes presence and functions of music in prewar poetry of Konstanty Ilde-fons Gałczyński. Relations between his poetry and music turn out to be complex, diverse and can be seen on several levels of the literary text. While analyzing Gałczyński’s poems of this period we can follow a specific evolution of his poetic language, his mastering of the means and searching for an appropriate poetic form. One of the significant elements of this process was the poet’s attempt to transpose into poetry some components of musical form, especially that of concerto. What makes Gałczyński stand out in this attempt from most prewar poets who drew inspiration from music, is a very precise and consistent way of exploiting the relationships.
