Stephen HELLER (1813-1888)
Stephen HELLER (15 May 1813, Pest, (now Budapest, Hungary) – 14 January 1888, Paris, France) was a Hungarian composer and pianist whose career spanned the period from Schumann to Bizet, and was an influence for later Romantic composers.HELLER had been destined for a legal career, but instead decided to devote his life to music. At the age of nine he performed DUSSEK's concerto for two pianos with his teacher, F. Brauer, at the Budapest theater. He played so well that he was sent to study in Vienna, Austria, under Carl CZERNY. Unable to afford an expensive fee by CZERNY, Anton Halm became his principal master.
At the age of 25, he travelled to Paris, where he became closely acquainted with Hector BERLIOZ, Frédéric CHOPIN, Franz LISZT and other renowned composers of his era. Here HELLER eventually achieved distinction both as a concert performer and as a teacher. In 1849 he performed in England, where in 1850 he was the subject of a long serial article devoted to his music in the British Musical World, and in 1862 he played MOZART's E-flat concerto for two pianos with Charles Hallé at The Crystal Palace. He outlived his reputation, and was almost forgotten when he died in 1888.
