From the period sources

Zygmunt Noskowski, born in Warsaw in 1846, began his career as a music teacher at an institute for the blind, for whom he notably invented a musical notation system, according to the Dictionary of Music (1896). After studying under Kiel, he served as Town Musical Director at Constance from 1876. Later, he returned to Warsaw, where he became a teacher at the Conservatoire and conductor of the Warsaw Musical Society. Noskowski was recognized as a “gifted composer,” with works including a string quartet, the overture “Das Meerauge,” symphonies, and ballet music (Op. 42), as noted in the Dictionary of Music (1896). His opera Livia Quintilla was produced in Lemberg in 1898, as an update in the Dictionary of Music (1908) records. Beyond his compositions, Noskowski also authored a harmony treatise in 1902, and was counted among the teachers of the “Gifted Polish (-Lithuanian) composer” Miecyslaw Karlowicz, according to The New Encyclopedia of Music and Musicians (1924).
