Andante 17:36 - III. Mazur - Tempo di mazurka 20:54 - IIIa. Krakowiak: Allegro ma non troppo 24:37 - IV. Finale: Andante sostenuto - allegretto Józef Brzowski (1805-1888) was a composer, pedagogue, conductor, music publicist, and cello player who was born in Warsaw where he went to the Liceum and studied with Karol Kurpiński. Later he studied at the conservatory with Václav Vilém Würfel. From 1824, he played cello in the in the operatic orchestra. And from 1827, he was a ballet tutor and an assistant conductor, a post that culminated in his becoming the director of opera and ballet in Warsaw from 1830-1833. After resigning from this post, he performed in France and Germany before returning to Poland where he was hired at the magazine "Musical Movement (Ruch Muzyczny)." In 1861, after Apolinary Kątski reopened the Warsaw Conservatory as the Warsaw Institute of Music, Brzowski was hired as a superintendent. As a composer, he had several successes in Brussels, and his daughter won him a reputation as a good piano teacher. Abroad, he won both admiration and criticism for his varied compositional output. While Brzowski is credited with the introduction of the musical style of Berlioz to Poland [1], it is only his use of valved cornets that showed any influence of Berlioz [2]. Śledziński wrote on the contrary that Brzowski's orchestral works betray more Polish nationalist influence than French influence [3]. The symphony dramatique, while the name echoes Berlioz, makes heavy use of Polish folk dance in the model of Dobrzyński's 2nd Symphony. Brzowski did write an overture with the appellation "Fantastique," [2] but that alone doesn't prove any link with Berlioz. Śledziński, however, points more to the influence of the classical style [3]. Either way, Polish symphonies between the closing of the Warsaw conservatory in 1831 and the foundation of the Warsaw Philharmonic in 1901 were sparse. Brzowski's entry followed in the footsteps of Dobrzyński's 2nd and brought more advanced orchestration and thematic daring to the Polish symphony before Stolpe, Żeleński, and Noskowski revived the form somewhat in Poland.
