Hommage à Mieczysław Tomaszewski: some remarks on his lithuanian reception

ENThe Lithuanian-Polish musical links have a rich history. In different historical periods their intensity was determined by various factors - a common statehood or, conversely, similar forms of political oppression, geographical proximity, and cultural exchange. There were also periods of cultural alienation and a lack of mutual understanding, further Intensified by geopolitical circumstances. However, these general factors are a mere background to the history of cultural collaboration of the musicians of both nations, as the real events always occurred on the level of micro-history, where creative personalities and musical communities collide.
