Witkacy suffered from amusia as a child and as an adult person. He was seriously inter-ested in music only for little longer than twenty years (1890–1914?). He wrote his main works as amusic. The relation between amusia and metaphysical feelings may suggest that Witkacy wrote dramas and created painting compositions in order to evoke lost strangeness of being. Amusia could have also been the reason of Witkacy ambiguity – he was defending and degrading high art at the same time.
W artykule analizuję koncepcję improwizacji zapisaną w Jedynym wyjściu Witkacego. Pojęcie improwizacji charakteryzuje autor powieści jako swobodne wariacyjne tworzenie wywodzące się z natchnionej wizji. Wizję uważa Witkacy za najważniejszy, źródłowy element teorii artystycznej i praktyki twórczej. Analizuję również ślady improwizacji w rękopisie Jedynego wyjścia i opisuję grę między amplifikcjami a wizjami zapisanymi w improwizowanych fragmentach.

In the article I have analysed the concept of improvisation recorded in Jedyne wyjście by Witkacy. He described the notion as unconstrained variation-based creation flowing from an inspired vision. Witkacy considered vision as the most fundamental source element of artistic theory and creative practice. I have also analysed the traces of improvisation in the manuscript of Jedyne wyjście and I have discussed the play between amplifications and visions recorded in the improvised fragments.
The article discusses two ways in which modernist writers represent a duel. Witkacy describes a dispute between an artist and a modern society which deprives it of its meaning i.e. an honour. Gombrowicz understands that artists has already lost his honour and therefore exposes duels as a deliberate deconstruction of matters of honour. Both deal with complex restitution of the meaning that is applied to art in the modern society.
The essay explores a theme of differences between the two Witkiewiczes – father and son. These disparities concern lifestyle, ethics, politics and art. The father wanted his son to realize his own ideas of art. In the son’s opinion the father’s idea had failed and in turn he invented an even more radical aesthetics. Lovran is a place where the basic categories of Witkacy’s theory of Pure Form were formulated.
