Maurice Moszkowski | Born August 23, 1854. Died March 8, 1925. | Born in Breslau, Moszkowski may be described as | a cosmopolitan, both in his personality and in his | musical productions. Some of his work has not yet | received its due estimate. Himself a fine pianist, his | treatment of technical details in his piano compositions | displays an ingenuity of invention that, in this line, | places him in due succession to Chopin and Liszt. His | Concert Waltzes (in E, and in G flat), and his brilliant | Caprice Espagnole, are in proof of the foregoing. |
But Moszkowski was par excellence one of the greatest | writers of piano pieces for four hands; the celebrated | Spanish Dances would prove this, had he produced | nothing further in the same line. but the characteristic | pieces, From Foreign Parts, are equally good, although | rather more difficult. These two sets of pieces have | been arranged for almost every instrumental combina- | tion under the sun. |
Moszkowski, who was a pupil of three conservatories | (Dresden, Stern, and Kullak), was successful in some of | the larger forms of composition; his opera, Boabdil, | contains some fine numbers, notably the Malagueña; | his piano Concerto is heard frequently. He produced | a long array of popular piano pieces. | From "Prelude and Fugue"
