 | | Alexander Moyzes, one of the most significant figures in modern Slovak music, was born into a musical family in 1906 in Northern Slovakia.After earlier technical studies, in 1925 he entered the Prague Conservatory, where he studied organ, conducting and composition. |
 | | In 1929 Moyzes was appointed to the teaching staff of the Music Academy in Bratislava, the Slovak capital. |
 | | He succeeded in creating a style of composition that was thoroughly Slovak in inspiration, yet nevertheless took account of contemporary trends in European music, a synthesis that he was to consolidate in his later years. |
