Nowak, Lionel(b Cleveland, 25 Sept 1911; d Bennington, VT, 4 Dec 1995). American pianist and composer. He made his début as a pianist at the age of four and studied with Beryl Rubenstein and Edwin Fischer; as a teenager he was an organist and choirmaster. At the Cleveland Institute he studied composition with Herbert Elwell, Roger Sessions and Quincy Porter (diploma, 1936). He taught at Fenn College (1932–8) and in 1938 became the composer and music director for the Doris Humphrey-Charles Weidman Modern Dance Company, a position which he held until 1942. From 1942 to 1946 he taught at Converse College and conducted the Spartanburg (South Carolina) SO. He was professor of music at Syracuse University (1946–8) and then joined the faculty at Bennington College. He toured as a pianist and lecturer for the Association of American Colleges Arts Program (1945–63) and he helped to plan the 1963 Yale Conference on Music Education; he was also chief consultant to the Manhattanville College (Purchase, New York) Music Curriculum Project (1965–72). The style of his dance scores is accessible; from the mid-1950s he made increasing use of serial techniques. The Concert Piece (1961) is among his recorded works. After suffering a stroke in 1980, Nowak paid special attention to composing piano pieces for the right hand alone and commissioned works from Otto Luening, Vivian Fine and others. WORKS

Polish composer and teacher. He was a pupil at the Cistercian school at Wąchock, where he also studied music theory, the piano, horn and trombone. He was a member of the chapel at Wąchock and at Radom; he also taught at Ciepielów, near Opatów, the estate of Joachim Karczewski. He studied composition with Elsner and the piano with Wilhelm Würfel at the Warsaw Conservatory (1821–6). In 1833 he embarked on a major tour of Germany, Italy and France, and afterwards made several visits to Paris. In 1833 he was elected a member of the Société Académique des Enfants d’Apollon in Paris. He made his home in Warsaw, where he gave private piano lessons and also taught at the Aleksandryjski Institute (1840–44) and the Institute of Music (1861–4). In 1860 he became a member of the music society in Lemberg. Most of Nowakowski’s music is for piano, and is influenced by Chopin. He also wrote a textbook, Szkoła na fortepian (‘Manual of piano playing’, Warsaw, 1850). WORKS
ALINA NOWAK-ROMANOWICZ Nowak-Romanowicz [née Nowak], Alina(b Warsaw, 14 Jan 1907; d Katowice, 19 Jan 1994). Polish musicologist. She studied the piano with J. Turczyński and theory with P. Rytel and K. Sikorski at the Warsaw Conservatory (1926–32), art history at Warsaw University (1929–32) and musicology with Jachimecki at Kraków University (1931–5). She lectured at the State Music School in Katowice (1947–52, 1957–9), and in the musicology department at Kraków University (1960–73); she worked at the state publishers, Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, in Kraków (1956–61). In 1961 she obtained the doctorate with a dissertation on Józef Elsner; this is founded on a wealth of source material and combines biography with a penetrating analysis of the works, considered in the context of European music. Her work on Polish music of the age of Enlightenment and early Romanticism, in which questions of musical style are seen in the light of contemporary Polish social, political and artistic conditions, made a valuable contribution to the history of Polish music. Nowak-Romanowicz also devoted much attention to national elements in Polish music at the turn of the 18th century, and made a number of performing editions of work by Elsner, Dobrzyński and other Polish composers.
