Abstract

The interpretation of the poem “Hi-Fi” by Stanisław Barańczak leads to the reflection over the tension between the two modernist aesthetic postulates: the pursuit of pure beauty in art and the pursuit of the truth about the world by means of art. For Barańczak the pretext for entering into this discussion was the arrival of new technical abilities – sensitive appliances which can register and recreate all sounds from a concert, also the ones non-musical, unwanted from the perspective of an expected aesthetic perfection.
