Moritz Moszkowski (23 August 1854 – 3 March 1925[1]) was a German-Polish composer, pianist, and teacher.[2][n 1][3] His brother Alexander Moszkowski was a famous writer and satirist in Berlin.
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.
