Julius Epstein (pianist)

Julius Epstein (pianist)

Julius Epstein (born August 7, 1832, Zagreb, Croatia - March 3, 1926, Vienna) was a Austro-Hungarian Jewish pianist. He was a pupil at Agram of the choir-director Vatroslav Lichtenegger, and in Vienna of Johann Rufinatscha (composition) and Anton Halm (pianoforte). He made his début in 1852, and soon became one of the most popular pianists and teachers in Vienna.

From 1867 to 1901, Epstein was a professor of piano at the Vienna Conservatory, where Ignaz Brüll, Marcella Sembrich, and Gustav Mahler were among his pupils. Epstein edited Beethoven's "Claviersonaten", Mendelssohn's "Sämmtliche Clavierwerke" and Schubert's "Kritisch Durchgesehene Gesammtausgabe", among others.

His two daughters Rudolfine (cellist) and Eugénie (violinist) went on a very successful concert tour through Germany and Austria during the 1876 - 1877 season. His son Richard (1869 - 1921) was also a professor of piano at the Vienna Conservatorium. Epstein was a friend of Brahms.
