Summary/Abstract: The reviewed book addresses the relationship between music, on one side, and personal and political freedom, on the other, in the context of the socio-political transformations in Poland and Lithuania that led to and ensued from the watershed of 1989. The author examines the engagement of Lithuanian musicology and the Kraków school of music theory with the global, English-language discourse of critical and cultural musicology foregrounding the tensions between description and interpretation, typology and experience, and the aesthetic autonomy and ethical responsibility of cre­ators and scholars.
