He began music lessons at the age of 10, playing the violin and later the piano. In 1947 he won the first prize for young artists in Rzeszów, at that time a student of Kazimierz Mirski and Janina Stojałowska. At the age of seventeen, he entered the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw for the first time, but did not win a prize. From 1950 to 1956 he studied with Zbigniew Drzewiecki at the Krakow Academy of Music.In 1955 he competed a second time at the Warsaw Chopin Competition, the most important piano competition in the world at the time, beating out Vladimir Ashkenazy and Bernard Ringeissen to win the gold medal. He then refined his interpretations with Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli in Italy, who had previously served as a jury member in the 1955 Chopin Competition. The 1955 Chopin Competition was marked in particular by the presence in Bavaria of Queen Elisabeth Gabriele of Belgium, a great patron of the arts, who was to be of great importance to Harasiewicz’s early years.
In 1957 he was awarded the Harriet Cohen International Music Award in London as the best performer of the year. His performances at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels caused a sensation. In 1960 he was awarded the Paderewski Foundation Gold Medal in New York. In the same year, which marked the 150th anniversary of Chopin’s birth, he played Chopin’s two piano concertos with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Stanisław Skrowaczewski at the UN headquarters as the official opening concert of the Chopin Year. He played with many important conductors, such as Heinrich Hollreiser, Fabio Luisi and Kazimierz Kord.
