Maurice (or Moritz, or Maurycy) Dietrich (1816–1887)[1] was pianist and composer in Congress Poland who had moved there from the Kingdom of Saxony.
Dietrich was born in Saxony.[1] He moved to Polish Łomża and then to Warsaw, where he died.[1]
His compositions are for piano, mainly dances and salon pieces, but include also some opera transcriptions. They were published by Franz Spiess's firm (later passed to Rudolph Friedlein) in Warsaw[2] from the first half of the 1840s on. Later works (from ca.1869) were printed by the André publishing house in Offenbach am Main.
