Filipa Melanchtona myśl o muzyce i jej rola w kształtowaniu kultury muzycznej humanistycznego Wrocławia
Filip Melanchton’s Thought on Music and Its Role in Shaping the Musical Culture of Humanistic Breslau

Summary/Abstract: The musical culture of sixteenth-century Breslau (Wrocław) was cultivated primarily in the Church and school communities, which formed a mutually complementary system of connections since the introduction of the Reformation in the city. Since Philip Melanchthon played an extremely active part in shaping both these domains, the question about his influence on the functioning of Breslau musical centres seems justified. The answer to this question can be found through an analysis of his writings, related both to the issue of the perception of the art of sound and the musical practice followed in the Evangelical churches and schools of the city.
