Composer of the Week - Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925) - Episode 3

Donald Macleod surveys the geography of Moszkowski's life. The pianist-composer was born in the former Prussian city of Breslau, studied in Dresden, taught in Berlin and, at the height of his fame, settled in Paris. Despite these moves west, Moszkowski always acknowledged his Polish heritage.
