Jadwiga Sarnecka
Jadwiga Sarnecka (* 1877 in Sławuta in Volhynia or 1883 in Szarogród in Podolia , † December 29, 1913 in Cracow ) was a Polish composer and pianist at the beginning of the 20th century.
Life
Little is known about Sarnecka's life. She was a student of Aleksander Michałowski and Theodor Leschetizky . Her aspiration as a pianist was to become a composer, so she took private lessons from time to time with Władysław Żeleński , Felicjan Szopski and possibly Henryk Melcer . She had her first compositions printed at her own expense until Feliks "Manggha" Jasieński supported the printing costs.
In 1910, Sarnecka won second prize for her ballad No. IV in the composition competition for the hundredth birthday of Frédéric Chopin in Lemberg . The first prize went to Karol Szymanowski .
The composer died of tuberculosis in Kraków and was buried there in the Rakowicki cemetery. Her grave can no longer be found.

Sarnecka's compositions include her piano pieces e.g. B. 7 ballads and sonatas and variations.
In 2010, Marek Szlezer released a number of his compositions on piano as CD.
