Summary/Abstract: The search for deep-rooted relations between a composer’s life and its projection onto the work of art constitutes the essence of the present article. Mieczysław Tomaszewski’s idea of invariant model of artist’s life structure has been used as the methodological basis to the analysis. The structure of Augustyn Bloch’s biography perfectly corresponds with this model. Observing the composer’s life, one may find consecutive creative phases for which meaningful experiences — the crucial moments in his biography — serve as turning points. All his life experiences, including his cultural legacy, echo in his artistic works. Hence, the relationship between his biography and compositions is so strong that it functions as the essential method of research into his works of art.
