Abstract:
In the String quartet created in 1969, Lutosławski applied for the first time a form model which was new in his creativity. the novelty was to create a composition from two parts. The problem of the form was equally important for Lutosławski as the sound system of melics structure. He believed that “the forces exist in each strictly composed music form which could be called counter forces. Each form is the result of forces neutralizing each other or counter forces”. Lutosławski understands the form as playing out and filling out, as a composition of music action, accompaniment of sound events. A composer is a director and playwright of sound events. the author carried out the studies on the structure of the music works by analyzing the cameral and orchestra works. She selected the following works for her studies: String Quartet, 2nd Symphony, Livre pour orchestre, Cello concert, Preludes and Fuge. The analysis of the aforementioned works showed which means were applied to shape the formal structure of the compositions. Lutosławski rejected modern ideas of a music form. He rejected the functional tonality, but in exchange for that he developed a kind of functional subject focused concept. He adopted for his needs some solutions in terms of using an episode, keeping it, however, under control.
