(born June 22, 1830, Lancut, Pol., Austrian Empire—died Nov. 14, 1915, Dresden, Ger.) Polish pianist and teacher. A prodigy, he studied in Vienna with Karl Czerny and Simon Sechter (1788–1867) from age 10 and was already a teacher by 14. In addition to performing, he became the most celebrated piano teacher of his time, first at the conservatory in St. Petersburg (1852–78) and thereafter in Vienna.
