Ludomir Różycki

Ludomir Rozycki ( born September 18, 1883 in Warsaw, † January 1, 1953 in Katowice ) was a Polish composer.

His father was a professor at the Warsaw Conservatory. Rozycki studied composition with Alexander Noskowski. After completing his studies at the Warsaw Conservatory in 1904 he came to Berlin, where he studied for three years at the Master School of the Royal Academy of Music in Berlin with Engelbert Humperdinck.

Together with Karol Szymanowski, Grzegorz Fitelberg and Apolinary Szeluto he founded in 1905 the " publishing company of young Polish composers " ( Spólka Nakładowa Mlodych Kompozytorów Polskich ), later called " Young Poland in Music ".

1907-1911 came Rozycki to Lviv, where he was appointed opera conductor and professor at the Lviv Conservatory. After a stay in Berlin Rozycki 1918 came to Warsaw, where he devoted himself exclusively to composition. In 1930 he was appointed professor at the Warsaw Academy of Music.

During the Second World War burned Różyckis apartment with not yet published works. Rozycki settled in Katowice, where he held the post of Dean of the Faculty of Theory, Composition and Dirigentur at the music school.

Różyckis compositions are considered conservative. Best known is the ballet music " Pan Twardowski " ( 1921), which tells of the nobles, who has dedicated his soul to Satan and escape ended on the back of a cock to the moon. The colorful, glossy orchestrated music provides the opportunity for many choreographers gloss numbers. The libretto was based on the novel by Jozef Ignacy Kraszewski.

In the works Różyckis motifs of Polish folk music are often noticeable. The piano works show the influence of Frédéric Chopin, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and Johannes Brahms.
