Karol Maciej Szymanowski (1882-1937), leading Polish composer of his generation. He was born in Timoshovka, a Polish enclave in the Ukraine, and later moved to Warsaw. Szymanowski's early symphonic music was much influenced by the German composer Richard Strauss. After about 1910 he turned to Russian nationalist and French impressionist styles and eventually to the use of elements from Polish folk music. In 1926 he became director of the Warsaw Conservatory. His works include two violin concertos (1922, 1933); Mythes (1915), for violin and piano; Stabat Mater (1926), for chorus and orchestra; and mazurkas (1924-1926). Szymanowski's mazurkas were made famous by the virtuoso Polish pianist-composer Ignace Paderewski.
