From 1883 to 1921 he lived and worked in Saratov, first as head of music classes of the Imperial Russian Musical Society, and then from 1912 to 1914 as the first director of the Saratov Conservatory.

The growth of music education in Saratov was largely a result of his work.

In addition to the educational and organizational work he put into concerts, he continued to perform as a pianist and later as a conductor.

He died in Warsaw in 1934 after a long illness, and was buried at the Powazki Cemetery.
