The quarterly “Muzyka” has been published continuously since 1956 and remains the leading musicology journal in Poland. It publishes texts dealing with music history from the Middle Ages to contemporary times, as well as ethnomusicology and systematic musicology. The main focus of the issues addressed is the Polish musical tradition, as most broadly understood, as well as the culture of the countries of Central Europe. The articles are published in Polish or English and are double-blind peer reviewed.
The original version of the journal appears in print. There is no fee to publish and all texts are available in open access under the Creative Commons BY 4.0 license. (Issues from 2018/1 to 2022/3 are available on CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license.)
