Biography
Heino Eller (7 March 1887 – 16 June 1970) was an Estonian composer and pedagogue, known as the founder of contemporary Estonian symphonic music.
Life and career
Eller was born in Tartu on 7 March 1887, where he took private lessons in violin and music theory, played in several ensembles and orchestras, and performed as violin soloist. In 1907 he entered the Saint Petersburg Conservatory to study violin. From 1908 to 1911 he was a law student. In 1920 Eller graduated from the conservatory renamed to Petrograd Conservatory. His younger brother was sculptor Aleksander Eller.
From 1920 to 1940, Eller was a professor of music theory and composition at the Tartu Higher School for Music. During this time he formed the Tartu school of composition, which gave rise to many composers, including Eduard Tubin. In 1940 he became a professor of composition at the Tallinn Conservatory and taught there until his death in 1970.
Eller was a teacher of composition. The school he formed in Tartu counterbalanced the so-called Tallinn school headed by Artur Kapp. Eller's pedagogical talent is versatile. The list of his pupils offers the best proof of this: each of them has created a distinguished original style. Among his students were Els Aarne, Anatoli Garšnek, Alfred Karindi, Villem Kapp, Boris Kõrver, Karl Leichter, Leo Normet, Uno Naissoo, Eduard Oja, Valter Ojakäär, Arne Oit, Arvo Pärt, Boris Parsadanian, Alo Põldmäe, Kaljo Raid, Jaan Rääts, Olav Roots, Heljo Sepp, Lepo Sumera and Eduard Tubin.
Family
Heino Eller was married to pianist Anna Kremer, who was executed at a concentration camp by German occupational authorities in 1942 because of her Jewish ethnicity.
