Grzegorz Fitelberg worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Grzegorz Fitelberg as Polish musician (1879–1953).
Grzegorz Fitelberg was born at Daugavpils in 1879. His recorded nationality is Poland. He trained at Chopin University of Music.
Recording arrived in this generation and changed everything: a performance could now outlive the performer.
He worked as conductor, composer and music educator.
The instruments recorded are violin.
His work is classed as classical music.
He performed with Union of Polish Composers and Young Poland.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
The honours record reads: Officer of the Legion of Honour, Officer of the Order of Polonia Restituta (1927), Commander of the Order of Polonia Restituta (1947) and Commander with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (1947).
That the work came out of Poland shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Grzegorz Fitelberg died in 1953, aged 74. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
