Abstract: The study examines the multifaceted legacy of Witold Maliszewski (1873–1939), an eminent Polish composer, pedagogue, and musical public figure, whose enduring impact and achievements have remained underrepresented in contemporary scholarship, particularly in Western musicological discourse. Drawing on the authors’ ongoing research and newly uncovered archival materials from Poland and Ukraine, the study reconstructs Maliszewski’s life and contributions — highlighting his foundational role in interwar Polish musical culture and his enduring influence as a teacher of figures such as Mykola Vilinsky and Witold Lutosławski. By integrating music analysis, pedagogical legacy, reception history, and institutional context, the paper addresses persistent historiographical omissions and repositions Maliszewski within the broader European musical landscape.
