Polish composer and violinist. He was associated with the Cistercian monastery in Obra Wielkopolska, where he probably received his musical training and where he was active, from 1779, as a musician. From 1787 to 1790 he took over the posts of conductor and kapellmeister at Gnieźno Cathedral. Josef Elsner stated, unconfirmed by other sources, that by 1792 he was a viola player at the German theatre in Lemberg (Lviv). He also worked in Poznań, probably in the early nineteenth century, where a considerable amount of his works have been preserved in the church of Mary Magdalene. Some early Dankowski manuscripts from Obra Wielkopolska, copied by M. Bocheński from Grodzisk Wielkopolski are signed by his abbreviated name 'Danek'. He was a very prolific composer and his extant output include two symphonies, 39 masses, three requiems, 27 vespers and many motets and other sacred pieces. His works are in the early Classical style; his vocal works show a marked influence of the Neapolitan school. His music, mostly homophonic, is characterized by Polish dance elements, and he sometimes made use of traditional instruments. Dankowski’s compositions were known not only in the Wielkopolska region, but also in Vilnius, Kremenets, Krakow et al.
