We are dealing with a composer of the high, late-romantic tradition – a style that Stojowski never found any reason to reject and with a strong gift for melody. His work proves the composer’s deft hand at colorful instrumentation, which suggests Russian and French influences. Entering the U.S. in 1905, he enjoyed a fine reputation as a composer, pianist, and increasingly pedagogue but his lack of presence on the continent meant that Stojowski faded into obscurity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1211405959\u0026amp;color=ff9900\" height=\"166\" width=\"100%\" allow=\"autoplay\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Capriccio Record Company\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user-592952001\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCapriccio Record Company\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" title=\"Zygmunt Stojowski: Symphony Op. 21\" href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/user-592952001\/zygmunt-stojowski-symphony-op-21\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eZygmunt Stojowski: Symphony Op. 21\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eREVIEW\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eT\u003cspan class=\"dxeBase_PlasticBlue\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ehere is so much music of genuine interest and reward in both works that their relative neglect is a surprise.
