Moór

Emanuel Moór (1863-1931) was a Hungarian composer, pianist, and inventor of musical instruments. Born in Kecskemét, Hungary, he studied in Prague, Vienna and Budapest. Moór toured Europe and the United States as a concert pianist from 1885 to 1897.

He is best known for his compositions, which include five operas, eight symphonies, and numerous concertos for various instruments. His music was popular during his lifetime but is largely neglected today. Moór was also an inventor, and he developed a unique double-keyboard piano. This instrument allowed for greater expressiveness and a wider range of sounds, but it never gained widespread popularity.

Despite his relative obscurity today, Moór was a talented and innovative musician who made significant contributions to the world of music. His compositions are gradually being rediscovered, and his double-keyboard piano remains an intriguing example of his inventive spirit.
