Stefan Łodwigowski

Edward Stefan Łodwigowski (14 August 1815[1][2] – 12 November 1895[1]) was Polish composer.

Stefan Łodwigowski

Born near Iłża[3][4] in 1815, he first studied music privately[1] with his father, who was a kapellmeister.[2] He died, when Łodwigowski was 12.[2] He stayed in Warsaw since 1840.[3] In 1854 he was residing at Robert Bothe's house in the Nowy Świat Street.[5]

His compositions, though being at best of middle-importance, were successful, especially mazurkas, polonaises and cracoviennes.[1][3] He also published some transcriptions from Stanisław Moniuszko's operas.[1] By the end of his life, Łodwigowski was an old-fashioned pianist and taught the basics of music.[1] He died in Warsaw on his 80th year.[1]
