German-Polish composer Moritz Moszkowski (1854-1925), while less well-known today, was a very respected and popular composer during the late nineteenth century, with Polish pianist and statesman Ignacy Paderewski saying of him, "After Chopin, Moszkowski best understands how to write for the piano, and his writing embraces the whole gamut of piano technique." Moszkowski composed his PIANO CONCERTO No. 2 in E, op. 59 in 1898, though the long-lost PIANO CONCERTO No. 1 did cause some confusion regarding the numbering of Op. 59 as his second piano concerto. Perhaps Moszkowski's finest large score work, the concerto gained a level of popularity after its March 12, 1898, premiere by the Philharmonic Society in Queen's Hall, London (the composer at the piano), seeing frequent performances in European concert halls, though that inexplicably faded after World War I. Exhibiting a fine sense of contrast and balance across its four movements, this mostly light work is a fine effort from one of the last of the Romantic composers, and it deserves to find its way back to the concert hall with greater frequency.
