| Description | The study brings outline of the life and work of Vasyl Barvinskiy (1888-1963) with respect to its Czech-related aspects. This West Ukraine-born composer lived in Prague between 1908 and 1915, taking private composition lessons with Vítězslav Novák. After 1915, Vasyl Barvinskiy worked in Lvov as a composer, pianist, teacher and the headmaster of the local conservatory as well as a productive critic of the local musical life. In 1948, he was falsely accused in a staged trial and sentenced to a ten-year imprisonment. Having returned to Lvov, he could not participate in public life any longer. His creative contribution to Ukrainian music was fully rehabilitated only in the contemporary history. |
