Polish Echoes of the Baroque Flute. A Study of Repertoire and Flute Collection at Podhorce Castle

Abstract

This study focuses on the musical activities at the Podhorce Castle, with a particular emphasis on the baroque flute. Through the exploration of the flute collection, repertoire, and potential rediscovery of musical material, the study sheds light on the rich musical history of the region. The patronage of the Grand Crown Hetman, Wacław Piotr Rzewuski, played a significant role in fostering an environment conducive to the flourishing and advancement of musical practices in the region. The study aims to contribute to the ongoing research of Polish musicologists by consolidating numerous sources into one cohesive repository and offers a link for non-Polish speakers interested in the baroque flute and music scene of the region.
