Moritz Moszkowski was a pianist and classical composer. He excelled not only in all the current pianistic repertoire, but also in the execution of his own compositions, which undoubtedly attracted even more admirers as his catalog enlarged. He played music and composed like being with his friends. His concert and salon music rapidly became the fashion, but it would be unfair to leave unnoticed the legitimate success that was his in works of the largest dimensions that he wrote for the stage and for the concert hall. His brilliance, balance, and limpidity of playing, besides his mastery of technique, aroused the enthusiasm of critics and admirers in all the cities of Europe, with his numerous tours having an ever growing success.

Moszkowski never conquered his excessive modesty. He distributed not only the dedications of his works in the family, friends and circle of students, but also awarded the contractors for arrangements of his personal compositions. Many of his pupils and colleagues, later took his compositions in their repertoire, thereby contributing to their prominence. He liked to live apart, yet nobody could have been more generous whenever there was any question of giving aid to young people of talent, or of helping sincere but unappreciated artists on the road to success.

The following is the complete List of compositions by Moritz Moszkowski. The first table (Works with opus number) is sortable by title, key, tempo, and year (date of composition), and non-sortable by opus number, name or movement of the composition, genre and notes, where additional information on Moszkowski's life and his compositions has been displayed. The second table (Works without opus number) is likewise sortable by title, key, tempo and year, and non-sortable by MoszWV numbers (Moszkowski Werkverzeichnis &mdash; Moszkowski work directory), name or movement of the composition, genre, and notes.

The font-size of both tables has been adjusted to 96% so that the title, key and tempo of the compositions might fit in one single line. All the information in the tables has been centered to ease the reading of every piece, the way that every opus number a, b or c has been marked in gray for the same purpose. The dark gray line  _____  immediately under Opus 58b and MoszWV 205 (15a, 15b, 55a, 56a, 56b, 56c, MoszWV 67-73, 120 and 174 were written after 1896) functions as a chronological divider for Moszkowski's life in Berlin (before 1897), and in Paris (from 1897 on), when the information is then sorted by year.
