List of compositions by Johann Peter Pixis

Last updated

Johann Peter Pixis (1788-1874) was a German musician born in Mannheim; the major parts of his career were spent in Vienna and Paris. He was among many musicians, especially pianists, who came to Paris starting about 1820. Pixis became very successful as a pianist, composer, and collaborative musician. The majority of his published compositions are for piano, including works with orchestra, but he also wrote operas during his years in Vienna—though these were not successful—and chamber music. Among his strongest mature compositions are the seven piano trios ("grand trios").
