Barbara Buczek was born on 9 January, 1940 in Krakow, died on 17 January 1993, Krakow. In 1969-1974 she studied composition with Bogusław Schaeffer and piano, graduating in both directions with distinction, till the end of her life she worked at the university as a teacher.

In 1970 she was awarded third prize at the G. Fitelberg Composition Competition in Katowice for "Two Impressions", in 1982 an award in the N. Paganini International Composition Competition in Rome for "Violin Concerto", in 1985 - third prize in the International Composition Competition in Vienna for "String Quartet No.2 Transgressio." 

She wrote pieces with such a complicated texture and so difficult to perform that a precise realisation of all of the details of the composition is almost impossible. The composer defined this idea as "the charm of impossibility.”
