Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Stephen Heller was born at Buda-Pesth, on the 15th May 1814 and died in Paris on the 14th January 1888. His musical talent showed at an early age. In 1824 his father took him to Vienna, where he studied music with Anton Halm, the noted piano-teacher. In 1827 he began giving concerts now and then in Vienna, until in 1829 he set out on a concert-tournée through Germany, where he remained from 1830-1838. On his return he broke the journey in Augsburg. It was during this time that he attracted the attention of Schumann, who wrote him up in his Neue Zeitschrift für Musik (New Musical Journal). Like many other foreign artists of his time, attracted by the then leading musical city of the world, Heller went to Paris, where he settled for good, and was soon received into a society of friends consisting of such musicians as Chopin, Liszt, Berlioz and others, and where he in a very short time made a name for himself as a pianist and teacher.
