Władysław Tarnowski

Władysław Tarnowski (June 4, 1836[disputed – discuss] – April 19, 1878[1]), also known by his pen name Ernest Buława, was a Polish pianist, composer, poet, dramatist, and translator.

Tarnowski studied in Lviv and Kraków, and with Daniel Auber at the Conservatoire de Paris.

During the January Uprising of 1863-64 he wrote the song "Jak to na wojence ładnie" ("Isn't the War Fun"), which remains popular in several iterations.

Tarnowski traveled widely, giving concerts in Wrocław in 1860 and 1875, Vienna, Venice and Florence in 1872, Paris in 1873, and Lviv in 1875.
