Między piosenką poetycką a poezją śpiewaną – twórczość Mirosława Czyżykiewicza w perspektywie genologicznej

The aim of this article is an attempt to classify the works of Mirosław Czyżykiewicz – an outstanding guitarist, composer and vocalist, one of the most valued performers of poetic song and sung poetry in Poland; and to question the validity of the division into the above-mentioned genres existing in the scientific discourse. As it turns out, the bard’s original work eludes the previously known typology, according to which both these varieties of song are treated as separate verbal and musical phenomena. Meanwhile, their far-reaching similarity, or rather the lack of clearly identifiable differences, do not allow us to think of them as completely different genres.
