MORITZ MOSZKOWSKI
Moritz Moszkowski was born in Breslau, Prussia in 1854. He settled in Berlin where he earned his living teaching piano. Over time he became an accomplished concert pianist as well as a teacher. This allowed him to tour Europe, both as a pianist and occasionally as a conductor. During this time he also composed, and he found some success with light works for both piano and orchestra. Moszkowski's most well-known and enduring pieces are the Spanish Dances, Opus 12, composed as piano duets and later arranged by Moszkowski for solo piano to meet the demand for the music.
