Summary/Abstract: Usually, when we hear the phrase „vocal chamber music” pronounced, our thought automatically goes to the lieder with piano accompaniment, but this area is much wider. Throughout the history of music, composers have diversified vocal chamber music by adding new instruments along with piano and voice or even by replacing the piano with other instruments. Today, we can enjoy listening to small musical jewels of a timbre diversity that amazes with creativity, beauty and innovation.This article aims to bring into the public's attention the fact that vocal chamber music means much more than lieder for voice with piano accompaniment and is presented in a diverse timbre palette, and the interpretive issue is, for the same reason, just as varied.
