Vytautas Bacevicius (Composer)

Born: 9th September 1905, Lodz

Died: 15th January 1970, New York City

Nationality: Lithuanian

Vytautas Bacevičius (born Vytautas Bacewicz in Łódź, Poland (then Russian Empire), 9 September 1905 – New York City, United States, 15 January 1970) was a Lithuanian composer of radical and modernistic leanings. Most of his works are in an atonal idiom of his own devising. He developed a theory of 'cosmic music' and came to regard Schoenberg's 12-note music as out-dated, regarding himself as a successor to Scriabin, André Jolivet and Varèse.

Bacevičius studied in Łódź with, among others, Kazimierz Sikorski and moved to Kaunas in Lithuania in 1926. In 1927 he went to Paris where he studied composition with Nikolai Tcherepnin.
