Khám phá sheet piano của Bądarzewska-Baranowska, Tekla trên Zen Virtual Piano. Tekla Bądarzewska, née Baranowska, was born in Warsaw in 1834 and died there on 29 September 1861; the Polish Music Library calls her a Polish pianist and composer. Although she received no formal musical training, her A Maiden’s Prayer, published in Warsaw in 1856, gained popularity. Perhaps a piece that travelled to so many countries stands out all the more beside a composer without formal training. The Polish Music Library describes A Maiden’s Prayer as extremely successful and says it was published by over 80 publishers: in France as La prière d’une vierge, in the music supplement to the Revue et Gazette Musicale in 1859, and in Germany, England, Italy, America and Australia. It was also arranged for four and eight hands and transcribed for voice and instruments including flute, clarinet, violin, cello, trumpet, guitar, mandolin, harmonium and zither. The same entry says the piece became a worldwide hit, among other places in Japan, even though it borders on cliché in both title and musical means. Arrangements for everything from zither to trumpet suggest a tune that people wanted to play on whatever instrument was near. Encyclopedia.com says she wrote one of the first musical pieces to sell on the international music market. By 1859 over 80 publishers had printed versions of the work, and the world bestseller appeared in over 140 editions and reprints, with hundreds of thousands of copies printed. Also popular were Seconde prière d’une vierge, Memories of my Cottage, Słodkie marzenie, Nadzieja, Echo drzew, Harmonie poranka and Modlitwa matki, along with mazurkas published at houses including Schott, Ricordi, Brandus and Dufour. Perhaps a bestseller in the hundreds of thousands, set beside a list of other titles that were also popular, marks a career where one piece stood far above the rest. Although Bądarzewska-Baranowska wrote other works, Encyclopedia.com says she never duplicated her first success, and her career was cut short when she died at the young age of 27. In 2012 her works were edited and recorded on the album Tekla Bądarzewska: zapomniany dźwięk, performed by Maria Pomianowska and friends. A recording made in 2012, long after her death in 1861, points to listeners who still want to hear these pieces again.
