Hungarian-born French pianist and composer (Hungarian name: Heller István, French name: Stephen Heller).
After receiving his initial musical education in Budapest, he went to Vienna to study with Czerny, but was unable to afford the high tuition fees and instead became a pupil of Anton Halm. Through Halm, Heller encountered Schubert and Beethoven.
He published over 160 piano works, and his excellent etudes, such as Op. 45, Op. 46, and Op. 47 (1844), remain popular among many pianists today.
