Musical life in Poland at the end of the first postwar decade was in a state of flux, if not turmoil, as ideological disagreements and material complications contributed to an atmosphere of dismay and distrust among musicians and authorities. This paper provides insight into the context in which the Festival's organizers were operating, particularly the shortcomings of musical life in mid-decade that threatened to derail the Festival before it even began.

The ideas expressed in his compositions and his Essays Before a Sonata became the basis for frequent discussions of artistic values and social aspirations. For the festival’s participants, many of them students, Ives embodied qualities of freedom and unconventionality that inspired them in their own contemplations of the essential values of art and life. The festival’s success, combined with its organizational independence, inspired others to develop similar events. As such, it became one of the first stepping-stones in creating an unofficial classical music scene in post–World War II Poland.
