Donald Macleod focuses on two of Moskowski's most celebrated piano pieces - the devilishly difficult Etudes de virtuosite and the nowadays neglected Piano Concerto in E.

Donald Macleod concludes his exploration of the life and work of Moritz Moszkowski.

He focuses on two of Moszkowski's most celebrated piano pieces - the devilishly difficult Etudes de virtuosite and the nowadays neglected Piano Concerto in E. Just as the popularity of his music faded quickly, so too did his life end tragically, the composer facing his final days penniless and alone.
