Hiller at Cologne, etc. He lives as composer and writer on music in Amsterdam, where he is teacher of the history of music at the School of Music.

His compositions (concert-overture, violin concerto, mass, operetta, etc.) are, hitherto, but little known.

He has lived in London since 1864 (with the exception of two years [1873-75] at Petersburg), esteemed as a pianist. He was appointed pianist to the Princess of Wales in 1873, professor of music at the College for the Blind at Norwood in 1875, and, in 1887, professor at the Crystal Palace.

9Häser, (1) August Ferdinand, b. Oct. 15, 1779, Leipzig, d. Nov., 1844, as theatre capellmeister; church musical director, and teacher of music at the Training School at Weimar, where he became in 1817 chorus-master at the court Opera. He composed numerous sacred and orchestral works (requiems, Te Deums, Paternosters, misereres, masses, an oratorio—Die Kraft des Glaubens—[produced at Weimar 1828, and at Birmingham, 1837], three operas, overtures, etc.), pf. pieces, songs, etc.; he also wrote "Versuche einer systematischen Uebersicht der Gesanglehre" (1820), and a "Chorgesangschule" (1831).
11(2) Charlotte Henriette, sister of the former, b. Jan. 24, 1784, Leipzig, was a distinguished vocalist. She sang first at the Dresden Opera, afterwards at Vienna and in Italy, and married the lawyer Vera, in 1813, at Rome. The year of her death is unknown.
13(3) Heinrich, brother of the former, b. Oct. 15, 1811, Rome, professor of medicine at Jena. He wrote "Die menschliche Stimme, ihre Organe, ihre Ausbildung, Pflege und Erhaltung" (1839).
15Hasert, Rudolf, pianist, b. Feb. 4, 1826, Greifswald. He first devoted himself to law, became, however, inspired with love for music through Robert Franz at Halle-a.-S., and studied, from 1848-50, under Dehn and Kullak, theory and pianoforte-playing; but he injured one of his hands by overwork, and returned to jurisprudence. The love of art soon came back, and H. made concert tours with success in Sweden and Denmark, and went to Berlin, where he settled in 1861 as teacher of the pianoforte. From 1865 he devoted himself to a theological career, and passed his government examination in 1870. He first took a small post as minister at the Strausberg penitentiary, and, since 1873, has been pastor at Gristow (near Greifswald), which living has long been in the family.
17Hasler (Hassler), Hans Leo (von), b. 1564, Nuremberg, d. June 8, 1612, Frankfort, the first German master who sought his musical training in Italy (before that, for nearly two centuries, the Netherlands, the high school of composition, furnished Italy, Germany, Spain, and France with musicians). About 1585 H. became organist to Count Octavianus Fugger at Augsburg, but he studied for several years at Venice under Andreas Gabrieli as fellow-pupil of the great Giovanni Gabrieli. His style bears, therefore, great resemblance to that of the two Venetians; in his canzonets and madrigals with their detailed work he recalls Andrea, but in his great works for double choir, Giovanni Gabrieli. H., however, is something more than an imitator, and was held in high esteem by his contemporaries. He lived for many years at Prague at the court of the Emperor Rudolf II., and was raised to the rank of a nobleman. From 1601-8 he was at Nuremberg, and in the latter year entered the service of the Elector of Saxony, and died, while on a journey, at Frankfort. The works of H. which have been preserved are: "Canzonette à 4 voci" (1590); "Cantiones sacræ . . . 4, 8 et plur. voc." (1591, 1597, 1607); "Madrigali à 5-8 voci" (1596); "Newe teutsche Gesang nach Art der welschen Madrigalien u. Canzonetten" (à 4-8; 1596, 1604, 1609); "Missæ 4-8 vocum" (1599); "Lustgarten newer deutscher Gesang, Balletti, Galliarden und Intraden mit 4-8 Stimmen" (1601, 1605, 1610); "Sacri concentus, 5-12 voc." (1601, 1612); "Psalmen und christliche Gesänge" (à 4 "fugal," 1607; new score ed. 1777); "Kirchengesänge, Psalmen und geistliche Lieder" (à 4 "simpliciter," 1608, 1637); "Litaney deutsch Herrn Dr. Martini Lutheri" (à 7, for double chorus, 1619); "Venusgarten oder neue lustige liebliche Tänze teutscher und polnischer Art" (1615). H. also published a collection of works—"Sacræ symphoniae diversorum" (1601, two parts), which contain several of his motets; a large number are to be found in Boden-
