Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska

(1829/1834 – 29 September 1861) was a Polish composer.

1829년에 므와바에서 태어났다고도 하고 ^[1] 1834년에 바르샤바에서 태어났다고도 한다.^[2] 얀 바라노프스키(Jan Baranowski)와 결혼하여 다섯 자녀들을 낳았으며 9년의 결혼생활 끝에 1861년 9월 29일 바르샤바에서 죽었다. 무덤은 포바츠키 묘지에 있으며, 묘비 위에는 악보 두루말이를 들여다보는 젊은 여인이 조각되어 있다. 그녀의 딸 중 한 명인 Bronisława는 1875년 바르샤바 음악연구소에 적을 두었다.^[3]

워낙에 요절하여 이 외에 신상에 대한 자료는 거의 남아있지 않다.^[4]

약 35개의 피아노 소모음곡을 썼으며, 그 중 1856년에 바르샤바에서 발표한 《소녀의 기도》(Modlitwa dziewicy)가 특히 유명하다.

A Maiden's Prayer

Main article: Maiden's Prayer

Bądarzewska wrote about 35 small compositions for piano; by far her most famous composition is the

piece Modlitwa dziewicy, Op. 4 ("A Maiden's Prayer", French: La prière d'une vierge), which was published in 1856 in Warsaw, and then as a supplement to the Revue et gazette musicale de Paris in 1859.

Percy Scholes, writes in The Oxford Companion to Music (9th edition, reprinted 1967) rather unkindly of Bądarzewska: "Born in Warsaw in 1838 [sic] and died there in 1861, aged twenty-three [sic]. In this brief lifetime she accomplished, perhaps, more than any composer who ever lived, for she provided the piano of absolutely every tasteless sentimental person in the so-called civilised world with a piece of music which that person, however unaccomplished in a dull technical sense, could play. It is probable that if the market stalls and back-street music shops of Britain were to be searched The Maiden's Prayer would be

found to be still selling, and as for the Empire at large, Messrs. Allen of Melbourne reported in 1924, sixty years after the death of the composer, that their house alone was still disposing of 10,000 copies a year."

The composition is a short piano piece for intermediate pianists. Some have liked it for its charming and

romantic melody, and others have described it as "sentimental salon tosh". The pianist and academic Arthur Loesser described it as a "dowdy product of ineptitude."

The American musician Bob Wills arranged the piece in the Western swing style and wrote lyrics for it. He first recorded it in 1935 as "Maiden's Prayer." Later, it became a standard recorded by many country artists. It is also played on certain garbage trucks in Taiwan.^[4][5]

In the 1930 opera Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, scene 9 in act 1 is satirically based on a pianistic paraphrase of the piece, whose theme is quoted by the men's chorus later in the following ensemble.
