Roderich Mojsisovics von Mojsvar

Roderich Mojsisovics von Mojsvár (Graz, 10. Mai 1877 - Bruck an der Mur, 30. März 1953) (also referred to as Roderick Mojsisovics, Roderich Edler von Mojsvár Mojsisovics, Roderich von Mojsisovics-Mojsvár and Roderich Edmund Ladislaus Anton Julius Mojsisovics von Mojsvár) was an Austrian composer based in Graz, head of the Schule des Musikvereins für Steiermark there.

During his leadership, the Schule des Musikvereins für Steiermark was transformed in 1920 into a Conservatory.[1] In 1939 the Conservatory was divided into two parts, now called the Kunst Universität Graz [2] and the Johann-Joseph-Fux Konservatorium Graz.[3][4]

His works would be termed late Romantic and show the influence of Max Reger.[5] During his lifetime his works failed to gain wide popularity.[6] As a teacher Mojsisiovics had an influence on Otto Siegl, Hans Holenia, Max Schönherr,[7] Alois Pachernegg [8] Waldemar Bloch,[9] Alfons Vodosek[10] and Grete von Zieritz [8]
