Jordan de Stojowski (May 4, 1870 November 5, 1946) was a Polish
pianist and composer. Born near the city of Kielce, Stojowski began
his musical training with his mother, and with Polish composer W
adys aw ele ski. In Kraków, as a seventeen-year-old student, he
made his debut as a concert pianist performing Beethoven's
Piano Concerto No. 3 with the local orchestra. At the age of
eighteen he moved to Paris and studied piano with Louis Diemer and
composition with Léo Delibes. Two years later at the Paris
Conservatoire, he would win first prizes in piano performance,
counterpoint and fugue. According to Stojowski, however, in a
December 1901 interview that appeared in a Warsaw magazine, the
teachers who had the most profound influence on him as a musician
were the Polish violinist-composer Wladyslaw Gorski and
pianist-composer Ignacy Jan Paderewski.
