    Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925) was a German/Polish Composer. Ignacy Paderewski said: "After Chopin, Moszkowski best understands how to write for the piano, and his writing embraces the whole gamut of piano technique." Although less known today, Moszkowski was well respected and popular during the late nineteenth century. In 1869 he studied first at the Julius Stern Conservatory, where he studied piano with Eduard Franck and composition with Friedrich Kiel, and then at Theodor Kullak's Neue Akademie der Tonkunst, where he studied composition with Richard Wüerst and orchestration with Heinrich Dorn. There he became close friends with the Scharwenka brothers, Xaver and Philipp. In 1873 Moszkowski made his first successful appearance as a pianist, and soon began touring the nearby cities in order to gain experience and establish his reputation. Two years later he was already playing his piano concerto on two pianos with Franz Liszt at a matinée before a selected audience invited by Liszt himself. In 1897, famous and wealthy, Moszkowski moved to Paris, where he lived on rue Blanche with his daughter. Among his Parisian students were Vlado Perlemuter, Thomas Beecham (who took private lessons in orchestration with him on the advice of André Messager in 1904), Josef Hofmann (of whom he claimed once that there was nothing anyone could teach him), Wanda Landowska, and, informally, Gaby Casadesus. His last years he spent in poverty for he had sold all his copyrights and invested the whole lot in German, Polish and Russian bonds and securities, which were rendered worthless on the outbreak of the war. On 21 December 1924, when he was ill and heavily in debt, his friends and admirers arranged a grand testimonial concert on his behalf at Carnegie Hall, involving 15 grand pianos on stage. Ossip Gabrilowitsch, Percy Grainger, Josef Lhévinne, Elly Ney, Wilhelm Backhaus and Harold Bauer were among the performers, and Frank Damrosch conducted (Paderewski telegrammed his apologies). The concert netted US$13,275 (the equivalent of US$187,793.67 in May 2017), with one part transferred to the Paris branch of the National City Bank of New York in order to provide immediate relief from his financial problems, and an annuity purchased at the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, whereby he would receive US$1,250 annually for the rest of his life. However, Moszkowski's illness lingered and he died from stomach cancer on 4 March of the next year, before the supply of funds could reach him. The money raised went instead to pay his funeral expenses and to his wife and son.

    Paderewski once said that, after Chopin, Moszkowski was the best composer for the piano. I think he may be right...

    Seta Tanyel really took me by surprise! Her playing is extremely articulate, clean, precise and very Virtuosic! The piano she's using has a very fine, pure, crystalline sound and the acoustics of the room are excellent. This woman has amazing artistic abilities to phrase and create all the passion needed for this music!! I'm surprised I've not heard of her before since I listen to just about all the concert pianists performing out there!!!

    Moszowsky méconnu malheureux en amour brillant pianiste et compositeur jusqu’à ce que la maladie l’empêche de jouer et ne le précipite dans la pauvreté. Son inspiration post romantique s’apparente à Rachmaninoff. Très belles pièces enregistrées ici

    The Humoreske shows he started off in Schumann's lights but En Automne which used to open so many programmes or be featured in them is his own individual light !

      The former sister-in-law took one look at his name and refused to even try to pronounce it. When I told her that Moskowski was a nineteenth century composer and pianist and music teacher, she lost interest in him and tried to change the subject.
