Bolesław Szabelski

Between 1929 and 1939, he taught organ and composition at the Conservatoire of Katowice.[2] Szabelski began working in the neoclassical and romanticism modes typical of the early 20th century. He adopted the serialist technique[3] in the 1950s and was one of a number of Polish New Wave composers to embrace atonality.[4] His early work had been characterised by monumental forms and fanfare motifs[5] and Szabelski adapted to the new aesthetic while retaining his old signatures. He composed five symphonies (1926, 1934, 1951, 1956 and 1968), as well as concertos, chamber and choral works. Szabelski was highly influential on the "New Polish School" composers of the early 1950s and had a formative influence on his student Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
