Grażyna Bacewicz
composer
Born: 1909, Lódz, Poland
Died: 1969, Warsaw, Poland
A multifaceted artist, Bacewicz was a virtuoso violinist and accomplished pianist as well as a prolific composer, and an author to boot, writing short stories and novels. Her music stamped general trends – from neo-classicism through folkloric socialist realism to 12-tone writing – with a distinctive personal style across most genres, including stage works, seven symphonies, 12 concertos, seven string quartets, and a host of violin, piano, and vocal music.
