Hobson - Moritz Moszkowski: Piano Music, Vol. 1

Moritz Moszkowski (1854�1925) wrote a considerable quantity of piano music, but it is generally remembered today only for a single piece, ��tincelles�, which Horowitz enjoyed playing. The early works on this first instalment in Ian Hobson�s survey of Moszkowski�s complete music for solo piano reveal a debt to Mendelssohn and Schumann, but the craftsmanship already justifies a later remark of Paderewski�s: �After Chopin, Moszkowski best understands how to write for the piano, and his writing embraces the whole gamut of piano technique�.
