Mykola Leontovych
Mykola Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music. He is remembered today mostly through the musical works he left behind, which include over 150 choral compositions. These range from artistic arrangements of folk songs, religious works (including his liturgy), cantatas, and choral compositions set to the words of various Ukrainian poets. His two most famous works are the choral miniatures "Schedryk" and "Dudaryk".
Franciszek Ksawery Dmochowski
Dmochowski was the author of celebratory poems, pamphlets, political leaflets; one of his major achievements was the first full translation of "The Iliad" into Polish. He also translated fragments of "The Odyssey", "The Aeneid", the works of Horace and Lucan and Milton’s "Paradise Lost". His most famous work was "Sztuka rymotwórcza" (The Art of Rhyming) (published in 1788), an adaptation of "L’art poétique" by Boileau, inspired by Horace, Diderot and Pope; referring to the dissertation by Golański entitled "O wymowie i poezji" (On Rhetoric and Poetry) Dmochowski formulated here the canon of Polish literary classicism. The work was later the subject of a polemic presented by Mickiewicz in the dissertation "O krytykach i recenzentach warszawskich" (On Warsaw Critics and Reviewers).
