Composer, born in Pressburg, Austria. He studied under Anton Bruckner, played cello in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra (1896--1911), and was a distinguished teacher at various Viennese institutions (1901--37). He continued the style of Austro-German lavish late-Romanticism in his four symphonies, an oratorio, the operas Notre Dame (Vienna, 1914) and Fredigundis (Berlin, 1922), two piano concertos for the left-hand alone, and chamber and organ music.
