1MOSER, ANDREAS, Hungarian violinist and teacher, b. Semlin, Nov. 29, 1859. Studied under Joachim, but on account of a nervous affection, relinquished the virtuoso career and became Joachim's assistant at the Hochschule. In the editorial field, Moser has also been prominent as co-author with Joachim of an elaborate Violin School, in addition to revisions of Beethoven's string quartets, and Bach's Partitas, violin concertos and sonatas. He has written a biography of Joachim and edited the publication of his letters. Moser's son, Hans Joachim, born at Berlin, May 25, 1889, has also written a biography of Joachim, and a history of string instrument playing.
3MOSER, KARL, German violinist, b. Berlin, Jan. 24, 1774. Studied under Bottcher and Haacke. Became a member of the Royal Orchestra after touring for several years and received the title of "Royal Kapellmeister." D. Berlin, Jan. 27, 1851. His son, August, born at Berlin, Dec. 20, 1825, was also a virtuoso of ability; he died while on tour of the United States in 1859.
5MOSEL, MAX, Dutch violinist, b. Rotterdam, July 25, 1871. Studied under Willy Hess and Sarasate. In 1892 appeared as soloist at the Crystal Palace Saturday Concerts and has made numerous successful tours of Great Britain, Europe and America. Settled in Birmingham as a concert director, quartet leader and professor of the violin.
7MOZART, LEOPOLD, German violinist, b. Augsburg, Nov. 14, 1719. On the completion of his studies, he became violinist in the Archbishop of Salzburg's Chapel, and in 1756 published a violin method which was long considered the best work of its kind in existence. Later he devoted his time exclusively to the training of his famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. D. Salzburg, May 28, 1787.
9MOZART, WOLFGANG AMADEUS, German violinist and distinguished composer, b. Salzburg, Jan. 27, 1756. Studied under his father and became an accomplished violinist as well as pianist. He began to write his violin sonatas (42 in all) in 1777, with his pupils in view. They are perhaps, more melodiously charming than profound or stylistically learned. The last, in F (1788), is a sonatina "for beginners." One of the most interesting is that in B Flat Major (1784). The five violin concertos, composed in 1775, show the influence of the French school, and are extraordinarily light, graceful and melodious with occasional extraordinarily beautiful pages, such as the Adagio from the Concerto in G. D. Salzburg, Dec. 5, 1791.
