Abstract

This article presents the work of Alicja Gronau (b. 1957), composer, musical theorist, and teacher at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw. Since 1981, her oeuvre comprises 65 songs for solo instruments, chamber ensembles (strings, saxophones, flutes, various instruments), orchestra, a cappella choir, vocal-instrumental and multimedia compositions, as well as one chamber opera. The article analyses these genres on the basis of selected works. Gronau uses a wide range of compositional techniques, including elements of twelvetone technique, aleatory, sonorism, open form and improvisation. She also employs major-minor tonality.

Keywords:
