Biography
A leading German piano pedagogue of the nineteenth century, Kullak founded the Neue Akademie der Tonkunst in Berlin in 1855, which by the time of his death had trained over a thousand students. He composed extensively for the instrument — concertos, salon pieces, and pedagogical works — but is best remembered today for Scenes from Childhood (Kinderleben), Op. 62, and his treatise The Aesthetics of Pianoforte-Playing, which remains a key document of Romantic-era piano teaching.
