Abstract

This essay reviews the impact of the doctrine of socialist realism on post‐war Polish music, including jazz, from approximately 1949 to 1955. It also discusses the role of Communist censorship in the process of enforcing the new aesthetic directives. Examples of state interference in the lives of Roman Palester, Andrzej Panufnik, and Witold Lutosławski are examined in more detail.
