Biography

He studied composition with Joseph Elsner between 1824-27 at the Warsaw School for Music and Dramatic Art and Higher School of Music, thus making him classmates with Frédéric Chopin. According to Eugeniusz Szulc via Halina Goldberg's book Music in Chopin's Warsaw (272), Chopin and Nidecki were both chorus or orchestra members of the Lutheran Holy Trinity Church, Warsaw. During his second visit to Vienna, Chopin met Nidecki, who was studying there between 1828-31. In 1833, Nidecki became director of Theater in der Leopoldstadt. In 1838 he returned to Warsaw and in 1840 took over the directorship from Karol Kurpinski at the Grand Theatre, Warsaw.
