XIV number of the only one polish musicological annual, whose history dates back to the thirties of the twentieth century, published by PWM Edition and Polish Composers' Union

"Our periodical is devoted primarily to matters of Polish music, its ­history and ethnography, as areas directly linked to Poland’s spiritual culture. [...] ­Nevertheless, Polski Rocznik Muzykologiczny opens its pages to research papers exploring general issues, provided the papers are a result of ­independent musicological studies in any field, thus making a significant contribution to our scholarship." / Adolf Chybiński, 1935

"The current, fourteenth volume of ­Polski Rocznik Muzykologiczny begins a new chapter in the history of our periodical, marked by the start of our collaboration with Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne–PWM Edition, a prestigious publishing house specialising in music scores as well as books about music." / Iwona Lindstedt, 2016

"The strength of Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne–PWM Edition lies in its co-existence with Poland’s musical commun­ity. Without a creative symbiosis with composers, relations with outstanding artists, without dialogue with eminent musicologists and music theorists or collaboration with renowned teachers Polish music editors would not enjoy their current high stature in the world and the publishers’ offering would be much more limited. 
This is why with even greater ple­as­u­re but also a sense of responsibility PWM Edition has decided to collaborate on the publication of Polski Rocznik Muzy­kologiczny, bearing in mind the history PWM Edition shares with the Polish Composers’ Union. Founded by Adolf Chybiński, the journal, the beginnings of which go back to 1935, provides space for conversations about music and pursues its mission of disseminating scholar­ly reflection, needed by musicians and essential to further development of our publishing house." / Daniel Cichy. director – Editor-in-Chief of PWM Edition
