The research of the works of Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis has brought together thinkers, musicians, musicologists, art critics, philosophers, anthropologists, historians and other specialists from Lithuania and other countries many times. This collection of scientific articles fruitfully extends and deepens the ideas discussed at the international conference Sonatic M. K. Čiurlionis Soundscapes, held in Druskininkai in 2021. The authors of the collection from the Far East and Western countries focus on the peculiarities of the artistic expression of the most mature “sonatic” period of Čiurlionis.
