Index of material on this site by and about the minor but sensitive
pianist Moissaye Boguslawski (1887?-1944)
Please click on the year to read the material on-line.
Much of this material is quite hard to obtain elsewhere,
one reason why I am making it available here.
The best article to read first is probably the 1923
American Magazine one.
Contributions of more material would be welcome.
I thank Rick Robertson, of Alabama, USA, who first drew my attention
to Boguslawski's playing.
