Moriz Rosenthal

thumb|Moriz Rosenthal. Moriz Rosenthal (December 17, 1862 - September 3, 1946) was a Polish pianist and composer. Quotes about Rosenthal Emil Sauer was also a good pianist, good technique, style. Very good fingers. He was a Liszt pupil. He was at his best in salon music — Chopin waltzes, things like that. But I heard him play a very good, very correct Op. 109. Some of the Liszt pupils were horrible. One I never could understand was Siloti. He played very badly. Another Liszt pupil was the famous Moriz Rosenthal, and I hated his playing. He couldn't make one nice phrase. I don't understand how he got his fame. Perhaps when I heard him he was too old to have any control. He had dexterity but he had no real technique, and I don't think he really knew how to play the piano. He didn't make music. Vladimir Horowitz, quoted in Harold C.
