{"product_id":"moritz-moskowski-orchestral-music-vol-4","title":"Moritz Moskowski: Orchestral Music, Vol. 4","description":"The Polish composer Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925) is best remembered for a handful of virtuoso piano pieces, but he also produced a substantial body of orchestral music, most of it unperformed for a century or more. This fourth volume presents his only symphony, a strikingly assured work for a composer in his late teens. Unsurprisingly, it owes a good deal to Schumann in it's dancing rhythms, heraldic bearing and orchestral colours - and the Scherzo might almost be by Mendelssohn on holiday in Poland. The 'Six Episodes' - charming, ingratiating and energising by turn - are all that remain of the lost full-length ballet�Laurin. They were saved because Moszkowski excerpted them for concert performance, thereby creating a 'Dance Suite' in all but name.","brand":"Toccata","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":52411825881368,"sku":"5060113446152","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/4517555-3605816.jpg?v=1784289415","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/moritz-moskowski-orchestral-music-vol-4","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
