thread_title: how to pronounce his name?

message: Born in Germany, died in France, the progeny of a Jewish family that moved around a lot. Is the surname the final arbiter here? Dr. Dan 16:29, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My Grove V says he was a "German pianist of Polish descent".  He was born in 1854, when there was no such country as "Germany", but that is also true of Beethoven et al.  I have no knowledge of how long his forebears had lived in Germany.  And I'm not at all sure his legal first name was ever the Polish "Maurycy". It's always shown as plain Moritz in any book I've ever read.   I'll make the changes.  JackofOz 00:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Is not the final arbiter what Moszkowski himself thought he was? If someone believes they are Polish then this is surely what they are? From what I've gleaned from the literature, Moszkowski himself: a) called himself Moritz (while living in Prussia / Germany) or Maurice (whilst in France). He never signed himself "Maurycy"; b) considered himself to be Polish, not German; c) declared that he was Jewish.
I have therefore changed the first paragraph to concur with Moszkowski's own declarations of nationality and nomenclature. Any comments?  John M Potter (talk) 00:26, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Ignacy Paderewski called him polish pianist. Besides Breslau was a polish city too same as Posen (Poznań) and Danzig (Gdańsk)- Breslau= Wrocław (it was a city of Moszkowski such as German Edith Stein or Polish Ludwik Hirszfeld, Hugo Steinhaus). Moszkowski is a name from polish szlachta. He studied under Theodor Kullak- polish composer (so he had a polish education of music and style of playing). He was writing polish music (for example Polish dances- Polskie tańce) and texts in polish. His favourite composer was Chopin. There is no clues to opiniate that he was a German. Same we could 'change' nationality of Roman Ingarden for German... 740

You posted blatant Polish Nationalist POV. Before you show your lack of accurate knowledge, you might want to read up on the facts a little bit. Theodor Kullak, for example had a German educator. You might also take a look at the works of the German born, German educated Composer List of compositions by Moritz Moszkowski, particularly the titles.

thread_title: how to classify his ethnicity?

message: a well-researched PDF available online containing a list of his published and manuscript works (though not always in what shape) lists his early first piano concerto (in B minor) and a symphony (manuscript, at the BNF- which intrigues- no, not the symphonic poem Jeanne d'Arc; the worklist- and maybe the manuscript score itself- is oddly ambiguous as to whether the work is in D minor or C major, but it seems to be in one of those two keys, not Jeanne d'Arc's E major. Hopefully inspection, editing and publication of the BNF manuscript will clear everything up, if, as one hopes... er, well, I hope... this occurs...) (see: Assenov, Werkmonographie, p.359–360.)

message: Re: " ...his [M.'s] music has also been described as 'devoid of the masculine and the feminine'. " Does this actually mean something? If so, then if the article is to include this criticism it ought to explain it. If not, the article should take a pass. TheScotch (talk) 13:17, 11 November 2017 (UTC)

message: This might be my personal taste, but I feel like Moszkowski's Violin Concerto could be mentioned more in the article? It truly is one of his great works, and not many know of it. It'd be a refresher to hear his Violin Concerto being played by a famous violinist instead of repeats of composer's works, and promoting it more in this Wikipedia article would be a great step forward toward that goal.
