Barbag studied musicology with Guido Adler and composition with Ludomir Różycki , Henryk Melcer-Szczawiński and Joseph Marx at the University of Vienna .

All of Barbag's compositions, which only existed in manuscripts, have been lost, as has his dissertation The Songs of Robert Franz and the music-theoretical work Harmonia intertonalna . His Studium o pieśniach Chopina was the first work on the songs of Fryderyk Chopin to appear in Poland . His main work is the Systematykę muzykologii , published in 1927 , with which he founded systematic musicology in Poland, following on from his teacher Adler and Hugo Riemann's Grundriß der Musikwissenschaft .
