  -> Not necessarily...You seem to ignore language flexibility. Check for instance music BASED ON Mahler's poems or H.Ch. Andersen's tales (plenty of Google hits) and for once - stay neutral ;)
agree  Michal Berski: Jako jedna z propozycji jest OK

agree  PAS: inspired by jak najbardziej, ale "Fantasia on a Theme" to jest utwór na podstawie muzyki Tallisa i Greensleves, a nie zainspirowany utworem literackim. Troszkę się czepiam, ale Pytek wyraźnie mówi o muzyce inspirowanej literaturą.
