(Od)czucia dźwięków – o emocjach w muzyce
Feelings and sensory perceptions of sounds: emotions in music

Summary/Abstract: The paper focuses on the three levels of involvement in music: creating, performing and listening to music. Feeling tends to be related to the process of creation and performance, while sensory perception applies to listening to music. In the article, the author attempts to describe the professional and personal emotions of three subjects who are involved in music: a composer, a performing musician and an audience member. The analyses spring from the author’s own research on narrative interviews and existing biographies. The author presents a variety of methods of utilizing the emotionalism of classical music, and indicates the technical elements of a performance to elicit emotions from a composition. Finally, the author depicts one of the most emotional kinds of classical music – the salon music.
