The following year he won the Maria Canals Competition, and subsequently completed his training under Magda Tagliaferro. He launched an international career (debut - 1961; RAI Orchestra in Turin, Carlo Zecchi) and began his pedagogical work for which he is best known. He taught pianists such as Krystian Zimerman, Joanna Domańska, Jerzy Sterczyński, Krzysztof Jabłoński, Magdalena Lisak, Zbigniew Raubo, Rafał Łuszczewski and Beata Bilińska.
