The doctoral research of Tomasz Konieczny explores the symbolic dimensions of the music of Hugo Wolf,
Alexander Scriabin, and Claude Debussy. It is centralized around the symbolic Night, arguably a crucial node
in the web of symbolic interrelations. In the Romantic view, the nocturnal darkness, covering the appearances of the world, enables intuitive insights into the fundamental, metaphysical Wholeness of the
world. Tomas Konieczny demonstrates how music contributes to sucha revelation… and how this revelation might fit the framework ofartistic research.
