Full biography Moritz Moszkowski
Moritz Moszkowski was a German composer, pianist, and conductor who lived from August 23, 1854 to March 4, 1925. He is best-known for his piano compositions, particularly his Spanish Dances, which are still popular today. Moszkowski began his musical career studying the piano and later became a teacher of the instrument. He eventually turned his focus to composition, writing works for solo piano as well as chamber music and orchestral works.
Moszkowski's younger brother was Alexander Moszkowski, a renowned writer and satirist. Moritz Moszkowski is said to have been the more talented of the two, with an innate understanding of how to write for the piano. While he is best-known for his piano works, Moszkowski also wrote concerti and orchestral music.
Despite his success during his lifetime, Moszkowski's music fell into obscurity in the years following his death. However, in recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in his music, particularly his piano works. Recordings of his music are now widely available, and his compositions are once again being performed regularly in concert halls around the world.
