It features a methodological emphasis on network-driven analysis, facilitating a comparative exploration of intricate musical interconnections. Furthermore, several discussions, especially by Schmelz, accentuate the perpetual flux in interpretive meanings, particularly regarding concepts such as ‘freedom’. They elucidate the continuous reinvention and dynamic nature of these ideas for both scholars and the musicians they study. Collectively, these significant perspectives intertwine, offering a multifaceted lens to comprehend the complex musical narratives within the Eastern Baltics.” — Živilė Arnašiūtė, SEER Author InformationMagorzata Janicka-Sysz is a music theorist, head of theDepartment of Theory and Interpretation of Musical Work at Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music,Krakow, a member of the editorial board of the journal Theory of Music,and professor at the Academy of Music, Krakow.
