Lwowski dyrygent, kompozytor i pedagog profesor Adam Sołtys i jego uczniowie
The great achievements that belong to Prof. Dr. Adam Sołtys, a conductor, composer and pedagogue and who taught the world-known conductors such as Stanisław Skrowaczewski, Witold Krzemiński, Jerzy Kołaczkowski, Eugeniusz Kozak and such composers as Tadeusz Machl, Szandor Kallas, Andrzej Nikodemowicz, Szymon Niemand, Mirosław Skoryk and many others have not seen fundamental scientific researches nowadays. This gap is filled out by souvenirs of his daughter Maryla Sołtys, his disciples, professors Andrzej Nikodemowicz and Leszek Mazepa as well as short slogans that can be found in music encyclopadias. Because of this fact the name of this honoured man who worked for Polish culture is relatively little known both in Lviv and in Poland.That is why in our report we are trying to give a short description of his work as a conductor, composer and, what is the most important, a pedagogue of the first half of the XIX century and 1939—1968, to go into the root of his performing as a conductor and his methodology as a pedagogue, to shed a light on his huge influence as a well-known person who taught young composers and conductors.
