Why did Borys Liatoshynsky become one of the most significant Ukrainian composers of the twentieth century? How did his music change along with him and the times in which he lived? The composer’s life cannot be separated from his creative work. Personal circumstances, historical events, artistic exploration, successes, and restrictions all shaped his choices and his music. At the same time, Liatoshynsky’s music—from his early modernist experiments to his late symphonies—tells us as much about the composer himself and the era in which he lived as the facts of his biography do. Here you will find a documented account of Borys Liatoshynsky’s life and work—his music, his choices, and his times.
