Ján Móry

Ján Móry (or Johann Mory) (10 July 1892 – 5 May 1978) was a Slovak composer and pedagogue also known under pseudonym H. Tschirmer.

He studied piano with Scheinberger in Banská Bystrica, composition with Dobó in Budapest and from 1921 to 1925 with Herman Büchel in Berlin.

From 1947 to 1960, he was a director of Musical school in Spišská Nová Ves and finally he lived in Bratislava, where he died.

He gained incentives for the musical theory and experience from Viliam Figuš-Bystrý, with whom he met in Banská Bystrica and in Vysoké Tatry.

Most of his operettas are in the nature of salon conversational plays where are applied typical Móry songs and duets, dances and overtures.
