Abstract
In connection with the concept of equating the traditional with the national – widespread during the nineteenth century – I describe the elements which Polish composers used to impart a national character to their music and point to the distinctiveness and specificity in this area of the music of Fryderyk Chopin. Based on analysis of a range of musical examples, I advance the thesis that the national character of music lies within the domain of reception, and not the actual structure of a work, and that the use of elements of traditional music is not a sufficient factor for the reception of a work in national terms. Crucial during the nineteenth century were a composer’s nationality and his attitude towards the problems of his own nation, as well as the national character of art.
