One of the great pianists of his day, Moritz Moskowski was born in Poland and spent most of his life in Germany and Paris. He was an occasional duo-piano partner with Franz Liszt, evidenced by the virtuoso nature of his piano pieces. While best known for piano etudes, Moskowski’s Caprice Espagnol gives a perfect window into the virtuoso salon pieces of his day. Repeated notes and octaves abound in this tour de force.Spencer Myer
