“Roczniki Humanistyczne”, Fascicle 12 Musicology: Composing/Creating in Exile

Settling permanently abroad (possibly in exile) imposes numerous changes—whether psychological, artistic, commercial, etc.—and involves the implementation of strategies in one’s life (personal and/or professional) adapted to this new context. Music also carries traces of these experiences and bears witness to the changes and (sometimes radical) challenges that affect the artist far from his or her homeland. How can this be accounted for?
