Stojowski studied composition with Zelenski in Kraków and, after leaving Poland at the age of 17, became a student of piano (Lou Diémer) and Leo Delibes (composition) at the Paris Conservatoire. He belongs to a small group of piano students of Paderewski, with whom he was linked by a life-long friendship. In 1905, he moved to the U.S. to concertize and teach piano performance (New York Institute of Musical Art, Von Ende School of Music, Juilliard School of Music, Stojowski Studios). Stojowski composed numerous pieces for piano, chamber and orchestral music.
