Sigismund Noskowski began his musical studies under Moniuszko in Warsaw, and later went to Berlin to study with Friedrich Kiel. In 1881 he returned to Warsaw, where he became a professor at the Conservatoire and conductor of the Warsaw Philharmonic Concerts and the Opera Orchestra. He was the acknowledged leader of the Polish national school after Moniuszko, and his pupils included many distinguished Polish composers, such as Karlowicz, Szymanowski, and Gregor Fitelberg. Noskowski's compositions include three symphonies, three operas, chamber works, and numerous songs and piano pieces.
