“The independent creative spirit of Bacewicz made her into something of a polymath. She wrote fiction as well as music, pursued a career in her native Poland and abroad as a violinist and orchestral leader, and had the skills and breadth of outlook to teach, although she rarely did until late in her life. Composition was her central activity, but she was free enough in her approach to escape the pressures of Stalinist conformism that made some of her contemporaries either succumb, or flee to a more welcoming environment. Widely performed and well liked, she belongs among those women composers who achieved fulfillment and public success in their lifetime, yet disappeared from the publishers' and performers' rounds with mysterious speed as soon as they are no longer here to impress themselves on the world. In her case the musical voice speaks in the neo-classical language of its time, makes use of folk motives, and has a distinctive vibrancy and wholeheartedness. She wrote prolifically for orchestra - four numbered symphonies and numerous concertos, including seven for violin.”
