He was naturalized German composer and piano virtuoso best remembered for his opera Tiefland (1903) and his arrangements and transcriptions of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. After receiving his basic musical training in London, where he enjoyed his first triumphs as a pianist, d’Albert went for further study to Vienna, where he became a friend of Franz Liszt. D’Albert toured widely and successfully and taught for many years in Berlin, but his chief interest lay in composition. He wrote 21 operas, 2 piano concerti, chamber music, lieder, piano pieces, and a few orchestral works.
