The Hungarian-French composer Stephen Heller (1814-1888) produced a large amount of piano music of which his numerous studies are still very popular because of their fine pedagogical qualities as well as their strong and appealing characteristics. His other piano pieces of all kinds, variations, character pieces, operatic transcriptions, fantasies, sonatas, dance movements, nocturnes, waltzes, caprices and scherzos might by today’s standards be considered slightly old-fashioned and have difficulties asserting it’s place on the concert stage among more popular composers such as Chopin, Schumann and Brahms.

\nHeller’s Album for the Young, opus 138 is a collection of 25 pedagogical pieces of which the first five, entitled “Songs without Words”, have been added to Piano Street’s library of sheet music and recordings.<\/p>\n
