O (nie)przydatności cezury roku 1600 w historii muzyki

The artistic manifesto of Florentine Camerata is widely regarded as a breakthrough moment not only in musical stylistics but also in theoretical reflection on music. In traditional musicography, the year 1600 appears to be a fairly clear border separating the Renaissance from the Baroque. However, the musical designations of both periods are very vague and their application inevitably leads to contradictions. The solution to these contradictions can be a model of interpretation of the history of music that links musical creation with the current of humanistic inspirations that have been present in European culture at least since the mid-sixteenth century and lasting for the next hundred years. This trend has led to a significant re-evaluation of the issue of style in music, which reflects the concept of mannerism quite well.
