From an early age, he showed exceptional musical talent, which he developed first in Elizavetgrad and then in Warsaw under the guidance of outstanding teachers, including Zygmunt Noskowski and Mieczysław Karłowicz. He was one of the leading representatives of Young Poland in music, alongside such artists as Fitelberg and Różycki. In his work, he combined elements of folklore with modern European and Oriental influences, creating works with a unique sound. His most important compositions include the opera King Roger, the ballet Harnasie, and Sinfonia Concertante. He died on March 29, 1937, in Lausanne, leaving behind a body of work that has become a permanent part of the history of Polish and world music.
