Polish musician and teacher, whose hands starred in the Oscar-winning film, was remembered as an outstanding performer of Chopin
Born 2 October 1952, in Wroclaw, Olejniczak began his piano education at the age of 6. He studied in Warsaw, Paris and Essen.
For many years Olejniczak was on the jury of the Chopin piano competitions, and, since 2018, of the two editions of the Chopin competition on period instruments. Laskowski described him as “one of the most outstanding contemporary performers of Chopin’s music,” also on period instruments, and a superb teacher.
