List of compositions by Moritz Moszkowski

A lithograph of Moritz Moszkowski taken circa 1890.

The following is the complete List of compositions by Moritz Moszkowski. Both tables (works with and without opus number) are sortable by title, key, tempo, and year (date of composition, when applicable), and non-sortable by opus or MoszWV (Moszkowski Werkverzeichnis — Moszkowski work directory) numbers, name or movement of the composition, genre and notes, where additional information on Moszkowski's life and his compositions has been displayed. The font-size of both tables has been adjusted to 96% and all the information has been centered to ease the reading of every piece, the way that every opus number a, b or c has been marked in gray for the same purpose. The dark gray line ____ immediately under Opus 58b and MoszWV 205 (15a, 15b, 55a, 56a, 56b, 56c, MoszWV 67-73, 120 and 174 were written after 1896) functions as a chronological divider for Moszkowski's life in Berlin (before 1897), and in Paris (from 1897 on), when the information is then sorted by year.

While Moszkowski later dismissed his Opus. 3 as worthless, he called his Piano Concerto in E major, Op. 59, his best work. In a letter to his publisher in April 1875, Moszkowski said: "I should be happy to send you my piano concerto but for two reasons: first, it is worthless; second, it is most convenient (the score being four hundred pages long) for making my piano stool higher when I am engaged in studying better works." Dedicated to Franz Liszt, it was neglected in an archive at the Bibliothèque nationale de France for 140 years, until the manuscript was found three years prior to its premiere performance at the National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, Poland, with the Rzeszow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Kiradjiev, and soloist Ludmil Angelov, on January 9, 2014. It was then published by Symétrie, Lyon.

  8. ↑ MoszWV 100 → Moszkowski began writing his first composition for piano four hands on 4 November 1875 (published in 1876), likely dedicated to Dr. Alfred Pringsheim most probably because the Trois Moments Musicaux, Op. 7 (MoszWV 6), had already been dedicated to Constantin Sternberg. After the success of this composition, and the subsequent Op. 11, it was natural for Moszkowski to write even more pieces for piano four hands. Published by Simon.

Later publishers found, among other things, a new title for every piece: No. 1 Madrid, No. 2 Sevilla, No. 3 Barcelona, No. 4 Valencia, No. 5 Málaga. They were published by Simon. In 1902 Moszkowski wrote: I think it was about the middle of my seventeenth year that, as often happens to both old and young musicians, I was in sore need of money. I coul think of only two ways to get what I wanted: to borrow or to compose something. After turning over, for several days, the advantages and disadvantages of both ways of bettering my circumstances, I concluded I would borrow. Therefore, I went to those two of my colleagues with whom I was on most familiar terms: Philipp and Xaver Scharwenka, in hope that I should not find their fortunes at so low an ebb. Philipp was at home, sitting on a sofa and smoking a pipe. I sat down by him and asked if he had a cigar. He said that he was out of cigars, but that I could smoke a pipe. So I took a pipe and looked around for tobacco, but sought and sought in vain. Finally Philipp said: "You needn’t hunt hunt any longer, Moritz; there is no tobacco here." Then I began to grow a little angry and said: "Do you know, Philipp, that is drawing it rather strong? You offer me an empty pipe, let me look for tobacco in vain and then coolly tell me there is none here, and yet you yourself are smoking. Give me some tobacco." "If you will smoke what I am smoking, I am satisfied." answered Philipp, who emptied his pipe and prepared anew by drawing out a hole in the sofa some of the sea-grass used to stuff it, which he put in his pipe. For a moment I was speechless with astonishment. Now it was clear that I could not borrow money from a man who was using his sofa for smoking. I went back home, sat down at my table, and began to look through my sketch book. A motive of Spanish character struck my eyes, and at the same moment arose the thought that I would write a set of Spanish dances. I worked rapidly, and in several days had finished my Opus 12, the Spanish Dances for four hands. I had only the last few notes to write as [Xaver] Scharwenka stepped into my room. "Good day, Moritz," he said; "you may be glad that you need not to go out, for it is wretched weather." "Since we are speaking of wretched things," said I, "what are you composing now?" "Oh, nothing," said Xaver, who was accustomed to this kind of conversational tone from me; "but you appear to be at work: do you need money?" Right you are," said I, "and you can do me a service by playing through these four-hand pieces and telling me what you think of them." We tried the dances, and then Xaver said: "I would rather have lent you some money, so that you would not have had to compose." But that was only a return thrust. An hour later I called on Simon the publisher, who promised to let me know in a few days if he would bring the pieces out. When I saw him several days later he said he had shown the pieces to several experienced critics and they had advised him to take them. The question now was, what I wanted from them. "I have a brilliant idea," I said: "I propose that you pay me an exceptionally good price which will get talked about in the papers and thus make a big stir about the pieces." But it made no impression on the publisher. He thought that so pretty pieces needed no such advertising, and besides that, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert and others always had sold their compositions cheaply, and as a publisher he felt obliged to accept such traditions. In vain I sought to change his mind by suggesting that he ought not to compare me with Beethoven; he would listen to no distinction between us in that respect, and paid me a small price with which I finally withdrew, tolerably well satisfied, at least, to be relieved of my present necessities. When the Spanish Dances were published, several weeks later, they found a good sale. Some years later they were known everywhere, being taken up in various editions and arrangements. I consider this as one of the works which first made me known to the musical world in general. Of course the publisher profited largely by it, and all because Philipp Scharwenka had no tobacco and could not lend me money.

  92. ↑ MoszWV 162 → This piano concerto was first performed in Britain on 12 May 1898. Dedicated "à Monsieur Josef Casimir Hofmann", it was scored for brass, woodwind and strings, making also use of an harp and triangle. Composer and musical critic Hubbard William Harris provided the following musical analysis: "The first movement is a brilliant composition, opening with what may he taken as its principal theme, inasmuch as it furnishes most of the material for the development, and also reappears in the last movement as a climax to the whole work. The announcement of this resolute subject, by the flutes and oboes accompanied lightly by other woodwind, and deeper strings, is followed by a short solo cadenza, after which the unfolding of the musical picture begins. As this proceeds several subsidiary melodies come to notice, prominent among them being one which (while hinted at before) does not assume its formal shape until given out, grazioso, by the pianoforte alone following a short upward chromatic scale passage. This graceful subject also figures, conspicuously in the development, which after passing through a succession of interesting stages, culminates finally in a rousing climax. The second movement is an eloquent, nocturne-like effusion, of which the principal thematic element is the expressive subject given out softly at the commencement by the clarinet, and bassoons, staccato, and the strings, pizzicato - this being taken up shortly and carried on by the solo instrument. An agreeably contrasting intermediary section follows, after which the expressive first theme returns - now in the harp and strings against flowing figurations in the solo instrument. Lastly a short free conclusion passage leads us into the third movement. The vivace is a lively, sparkling composition in Moszkowski's characteristically brilliant manner, and commences with the statement of a nimble running theme by the solo instrument. After this vivacious subject and its derivatives have been worked over briefly another buoyant theme comes to notice in the flutes and clarinets, over a strumming guitar-like accompaniment in the pianoforte. The development from here runs mainly on this theme, leading finally to a short cantabile passage for the solo instrument (unaccompanied), following which the movement proceeds quickly to a dashing conclusion. The fourth and last movement opens with a short flourishing introductory passage which leads to the statement of a resolute theme by the solo instrument. After this has been developed at considerable length the pianoforte introduces a contrasting theme of flowing character, to which the clarinet attaches itself shortly. Presently the development of the resolute opening theme is resumed, leading to the entrance of still another subject, given out softy but decidedly by the clarinet and the violas, and worked up forthwith in alternation and combination with the resolute opening theme. The flowing second theme returns, the movement mounting thence to a climax, at the pinnacle of which the resolute opening theme of the first movement reappears in enlarged rhythm."

Moszkowski wrote to his publisher, Henri Hinrichsen, on 25 August 1907 in Paris: "I have currently finished my opus 79, a four-movement orchestral suite which I have to perform in the first half of September. The premiere in Lausanne is to make any remaining correction. The score is currently with the copyist and once it is finished, I believe it will have about 165 pages (in press maybe 150.) The first two movements are quite symphonic, the third is a waltz that will probably be playing a lot separately, and may also become a piano piece. The second movement is likely to be suitable for a single output. That is, I hope that it may be convenient for you, and if this is the case, I suggest you a fee of 3,000 marks for it. I do not think you'll find that amount too high, especially if you consider that I will have to pay about 450 francs for the copy of the score and 200 francs for a sample. I intend to travel to Lausanne on September 1, therefore I would be grateful if you would let me go." It was dedicated to Polish composer and conductor Monsieur Alex Z. Birnbaum, and published the following year by Bote & Bock.

  179. ↑ Étude → The two études attributed to Paul de Schlözer and published by him as Op. 1 (his only known published work), are believed by some historians to have actually been written by Moszkowski. The similarities between de Schlözer's Étude No. 2 in A-flat major and the 11th of Moszkowski’s 15 Études de Virtuosité, Op. 72, also in A-flat major, are striking. However, it may be that these similarities themselves gave rise to the legend that the de Schlözer pieces were written by Moszkowski. The story goes that Moszkowski wrote them, but lost the manuscript in a card game to Schlözer, who first published them in Viena through Schreiber in 1875-1876 as his own works.
