Abstract

Music accompanies a human being since its birth. It is also particularly important element shaping our civilization and culture determining the education of each society to a large extent. It plays an important role in humanʼs development, education and even during therapy. One of the representations of art in the life of a human being is its influence on imagination, sound and word. The latter is mostly conveyed in interesting literature and periodicals covering issues of broadly comprehended culture. At the beginning of the 20th century «Młoda Muzyka» was one of such periodicals. Information stating that «Młoda Muzyka» was the only Polish music and literature periodical at that time was inculded at the end of the first issue. As a result it showed cultural life of Polish society (deprived of sovereignty) of that time and played an important part in popularizing musical education to a large number of residents of Polish lands.

As it has already been indicated the objective of the periodical, particularly one devoted to the culture issues, was very often focused on acquainting, popularizing and even preparing to participation of societyʼs cultural life. It seems that these objectives were met by «Młoda Muzyka». It was a fortnightly periodical with its roots in the beginning of the 20th century. It was published in Warsaw, which at that time was the main cultural place in Kingdom of Poland. «Młoda Muzyka» revealed the progressive trend in Polish music thought. It was mostly popularizing the work of the contemporary Polish composers, among others, Ludomir Różycki, Karol Szymanowski, Feliks Nowowiejski or Zygmunt Noskowski. Acknowledged musicologists like: Adolf Chybiński, Zdzisław Jachimecki, Henryk Opieński, Stefania Łobaszewska-Gérard de Festenburg were among its permanent contributors. The first issue was published on the 1st of October 1908. Since 1910 the title was changed into «Przegląd Muzyczny». Roman Chojnacki was its founder, editor-in-chief and publisher and he held these functions all the time the periodical was issued. Romuald Haller was his assistant editor. With the new title periodical was issued from 1908 to 1914. After the WWI in 1918 it was published again until its last issue in.

Each article presented in «Młoda Muzyka» approximated broader and better comprehension of a music piece even the one described as «difficult» in perception the same as music in general which was accompanying humankind since its origins. Music is particularly important element in shaping our civilisation and culture. It decides to a great extent about human education and upbringing at each stage of their life. It also has a significant role in therapeutic influence on a human.

The origins of «Młoda Muzyka» periodical was initiated by an urge of popularizing music culture across the nation and it was an answer to the great needs of contributing of Polish society in creating and experiencing music culture. As the editors emphasised slight interest in art, its beauty and value and the interest of society in «poor» art was a great stimulus to create the periodical.

Finally, it can be stated that «Młoda Muzyka» periodical perfectly played its educational and aesthetic role. It illustrated the presented issues in depth showing cultural life, level of knowledge and engagement as well as the needs of almost all Polish society as far as music issues were concerned.
