The biography was compiled by Charlotte Moscheles largely from the diaries which he kept from 1814 until his death over 60 years later. The book paints a fascinating picture of the life and times of the pianist/composer.
1794-1816. Prague and Vienna
His father was cloth merchant, who played the guitar and sang, and who was anxious for one of his children to make their mark in music. Ignaz was
also very influenced by the Military Bands in the city. At a very early age he had learnt to play the piano to a level where he was able to
"perform" the Sonata pathétique Op.13 by his lifetime hero Beethoven. At the age of seven, he was taken to see Dionys Weber, for whom he "made a
hash of playing" the Beethoven sonata. Weber said that he showed talent but was on the wrong road to true ability. He was accepted as a pupil on
the understanding that he would spend a year each learning only Mozart, Clementi and Bach.
Soon after his father died in 1808, he was sent to Vienna where he studied the theory of music with Albrechtsberger and composition with Salieri,
whose deputy KapellMeister he was for 3 years.
While in Vienna he became friendly with Meyerbeer and Hummel. At this time he was commissioned by the publisher Artaria to arrange a piano score
of the opera Fidelio, and it was then that he met Beethoven and discussed at least part of his piano arrangement with the master.
In February 1815, he gave the 1st performance of his lifelong virtuoso war-horse - The Alexander variations Op.32. In the spring of 1816, he
returned to Prague to visit his family, teacher and friends before embarking on a series of concert tours throughout Europe.
1816-1825. Tours in Europe
In the Autumn of 1816, he left Vienna and went to Leipzig via Prague, beginning 8 peripatetic years during which he visited Germany, Holland,
Belgium, France, England and Austria and had no permanent home. After leaving Leipzig, he visited Dresden, Amsterdam, The Hague and Brussels.
Information about 1817 to 1819 is sketchy as the diary was kept only intermittently .
In 1820, he visited Paris for the first time where he remained for 5 months. He then went to London and became friendly with Kalkbrenner. He
returned to Paris, and remained in France where he toured and performed until May. He returned to London. June 11 1821 saw his first appearance
at the Philharmonic, with which he later became closely associated and where he played his 2nd Piano concerto and the Alexander Variations.
He spent 1822 in France and England, where he was appointed honorary member of the London Academy of music.In 1823 he moved between England,
France Germany and finally Vienna, where after an illness, he again met Beethoven and visited the dying Salieri.
In 1824 he returned home to his family in Prague, and was ill for 4 months, possibly with peritonitis. After recovery, he toured Germany,
reaching Berlin where he met Mendelssohn and his family for the first time. He was persuaded to give the 15 year old Felix piano lessons which
Moscheles did not think he needed. At the end of the year he continued his travels, and in January 1825, he reached Hamburg where he met
Charlotte Embden, whom he married on March 1st. They went via Paris to London, where they established a home which was their base for the next 20 years.
1825-1846. London
For the next 20 years, Moscheles and his wife made their home in London. He gave concerts, composed, taught the piano, had a busy social and a
happy and rewarding family life, travelled extensively throughout Europe, concerned himself with the music life of London, and wrote (apart from
his diary and extensive correspondence, he translated Schindler’s Life of Beethoven into English).
A memorable episode occurred in 1827 - Beethoven was dying and wrote to Moscheles asking if the Philharmonic society of London, who had
previously suggested giving a subscription concert for Beethoven (which he not not thought necessary), if they could now do so as he was
terminally ill and in financial difficulties. Since it would have taken some time to arrange such a concert, and since they did not want to offer
the master charity, Moscheles suggested that the arrangements be made, and meanwhile the Society sent 1000 florins (£100) as an advance on the
proceeds.
In 1832 he was elected as a Director of the London Philharmonic Society, where his new, and only symphony was performed. In 1839 during a visit
to Paris, he met Chopin on several occasions, and expressed great pleasure in the latter’s music as played by the composer. They attended many
Parisian soirées, where they played Moscheles’ E major sonata for piano duet together.
1846-1870. Leipzig
At the beginning of January, 1846, Moscheles received an offer of a position at the Leipzig Conservatoire. Despite the wrench of leaving London
after 20 years (and the reduction in income), he accepted on the 25th. The Moscheles moved to Leipzig and the 21st October, where he was
appointed Head of Department for Playing and Composition. The 13 other Professors included Mendelssohn and Gade.
The most important event of 1847 to Moscheles was the death of Mendelssohn on thr 4th of November. Moscheles’ diary contains a detailed account
of his final days and death, following which Moscheles determined that to continue and even increase his work at the Conservatoire was "a sacred trust".
For the remainder of his life he continued to occupy the post at the Conservatoire. He performed and composed much less, and such of his time as
was not occupied by teaching seems to have been spent in making music with friends, and continuing to study (and edit) the classics.
Although his travelling was much reduced, the post occupied him for 9 months of the year, and during the remainder he continued to travel
extensively. In fact his last journey in December 1869 was to visit Beethoven’s room in Vienna (in the hope of meeting his Ghost).
He died peacefully at his home in Leipzig in March 1870 at the age of 75.
His birthday according to his wife was the 30 May rather than the 23 May as Grove (and this database!) say.
When he was alive, Prague was in Bohemia, and not the Czech Republic, which did not exist at the time.
Another picture of Ignaz Moscheles (414125) and one of Charlotte Moscheles (221061) are available.
