Krzysztof Bartnicki (born 1971) is a Polish translator, writer, musician/composer,
lexicographer and
Joyce scholar. His translations into English include poetry of
Stanisław Dróżdż and
Bolesław Leśmian. He is the author of several Polish-English dictionaries.
In the musical output derived from the text of Finnegans Wake, Bartnicki's first publicly performed composition was A Redivivus of Paganinism: Variations on a Text by Joyce upon Lutosławski's Variations on a Theme by Paganini (Częstochowa, The
Lutosławski Year celebrations, 2013), the most frequently recurring, however, were his imitations of
John Williams's themes for Star Wars.[6]
