Born in Prague, pianist and composer Ignaz Moscheles (1794-1870)
studied in Vienna and rapidly became a central figure in European
musical life. He lived and worked in London for twenty-five years,
leaving in 1846 to become principal professor of piano at the
Leipzig Conservatoire at the invitation of his great friend
Mendelssohn. As a pianist, he was renowned for his incisive
technique rooted in the tradition of Clementi, and also much
admired for his extempore performances. As a composer his output
was mainly for the piano, and his studies are still in use today.
First published in 1872-3, this lively biography, compiled from his
diaries and letters by his wife Charlotte, records his dealings
with and feelings about many great musicians of the nineteenth
century. Reissued here is the 1873 English translation by Arthur
Duke Coleridge, founder of the Bach Choir. Volume 1 covers the
years up to 1836.
