    MORITZ MOSZKOWSKI: PIANO MUSIC, VOLUME ONE by Martin Eastick ‘After Chopin, Moszkowski best understands how to write for the piano, and his writing embraces the whole gamut of piano technique’.1 Paderewski’s oft-repeated endorsement of his fellow countryman’s reputation offers an idea of the high esteem in which Moszkowski was once held – certainly at the pinnacle of his achievement during the closing years of the nineteenth century. The more sober artistic climate of the early 21st seems to have less time for music now regarded as the frivolity of a more innocent age. Moszkowski’s piano music had indeed been very popular, but a gradual decline set in after the cultural and social changes brought about by the Great War. Just occasionally, during the past hundred or so years since his death in 1925, the odd Moszkowski bon-bon – perhaps his ‘Étincelles’ (the sixth of his Huit Morceaux Caractéristiques, Op. 36), or the Caprice espagnole, Op. 37 – has provided a recital encore by some enterprising pianist. Moszkowski came from a wealthy Polish-Jewish family which had settled in Breslau (now the Polish city of Wrocław, but then the capital of Silesia in East Prussia) in 1854, the year of his birth. Having displayed a natural talent for music from an early age, and with some basic home tuition, he began his formal musical education in 1865, after his family’s relocation to Dresden. A further family move, to Berlin, in 1869, enabled Moszkowski to continue his musical education – first at Julius Stern’s Conservatorium (which still exists, as part of the Faculty of Music of the Berlin University of the Arts), where he studied piano with the composer- pianist Eduard Franck (1817–93) and composition with the famous theoretician and composer Friedrich Kiel (1821–85).
