Warsaw Period of Viktor Kosenko's Life (1898–1914): the Influence of a Multinational and Multicultural Environment
Vol.13,No.2(2021)
Viktor Kosenko (1896–1938) was one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainian musical culture of the first half of the 20th century. He was a brilliant pianist, a genius composer, and an outstanding teacher. But the first twenty years of his biography are a "white spot", a gap in modern musicology. There are almost no materials related to this time in his personal archive, as well as in the funds of the Composer's Memorial Apartment. So let's look for the reasons for the "mysterious disappearance" of the information about the artist's childhood and youth period. We will find the information in other sources and reconstruct this period of his biography, immerse ourselves in the atmosphere that surrounded the future composer during his stay in Warsaw, restore impressions and memories of his school life period, which could be reflected in his future work.
