During his leadership, the Schule des Musikvereins fur Steiermark was transformed in 1920 into a Conservatory. In 1939 the Conservatory was divided into two parts, now called the Kunst Universitat Graz and the Johann-Joseph-Fux Konservatorium Graz.
His works would be termed late Romantic and show the influence of Max Reger. During his lifetime his works failed to gain wide popularity. As a teacher Mojsisiovics had an influence on Otto Siegl, Hans Holenia, Max Schonherr, Alois Pachernegg Waldemar Bloch, Alfons Vodosek and Grete von Zieritz [8]
