Zygmunt Mycielski
Count Zygmunt Mycielski (17 August 1907 – 5 August 1987) was a Polish
École Normale de Musique with Paul Dukas and Nadia Boulanger
. While there, he served as president of the Association of Young Polish Musicians in Paris from 1934 to 1936. In 1936, he moved back to Poland and began his music and writing career.
Mycielski served in the Polish military during
communist
Polish authorities, however. His publications caused him to be ousted as editor-in-chief of Ruch Muzyczny; his writings were then subject to strict censorship and he was forbidden to leave the country.
Mycielski continued his political activism though. In 1975, he signed a group letter with other Polish intellectuals protesting proposed changes to the Polish constitution by the Communist party. In 1978, he founded the Academic Education Society, a student organisation that was deemed illegal and later banned.
Mycielski died in
Wisłok River
.
