Abstract
The article is devoted to the characteristics of different ways of perceiving and conceptualising violin playing at the time of the Romanticist breakthrough. The core axis of the aesthetic dispute described in the article is the polemic between Krystyn Lach Szyrma and Maurycy Mochnacki in the Warsaw press, inspired by a visit to Warsaw of the Italian violinist, Niccolò Paganini, who gave a concert with Karol Lipiński in 1829. The analysis of selected journalistic and critical texts from the first half of the nineteenth century, aims to show the direct influence of different ways of reception and aesthetic preferences regarding violin playing on the image of the instrument in poetry and other literary texts in the nineteenth century.
