Moór Emánuel
Composer
Place of Birth
Kecskemét
Date of Birth
1863
19 February 1863 Kecskemét - 20 October 1931 Mont Pélerin sur Vevey (Switzerland)
Pianist and composer. He studied in Budapest and Vienna. Between 1885 and 1887 he gave concerts in the US, in England and in Germany, for a while together with Lili Lehmann.
He designed the Duplex-Coupler Grand Pianoforte (also known as Pleyel-Moór piano). This instrument has two keyboards above each other and has five pedals, of which two are couplers so the octaves of the lower keyboard can also make a sound. The piano facilitates the play of wider stoppings and rapid scale passages, but also broadens the dynamic scale of the instrument. In 1928, Moór and his wife, Winfried Christie, presented the piano in Budapest as well.
Major works: Orchestral works (symphonies, concertos, etc.), chamber music (a string quartet, violin sonatas, etc.), piano works, operas (Die Pompadour, Andreas Hofer, Hochzeitsglocken), a mass, songs, etc.
