Konstantin Gorski studied under Apolinary Kontsky at the Musical Institute in Warsaw, an institution founded and directed by Kontsky beginning in 1861. As one of Kontsky's violin students, Gorski received his earliest formal musical training there before continuing his studies at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory.
The teacher–student relationship between Kontsky, a renowned Polish–Russian violinist and pedagogue, and Gorski played an important role in shaping Gorski’s development as a violinist and composer. Although the article does not provide detailed accounts of their interactions, it makes clear that Gorski belonged to the circle of Kontsky’s notable pupils, benefiting from the technical and artistic foundations established by his mentor.
