Biography
Eugene Zador was born in Bátaszék, Hungary, in 1894. His extraordinary musical gifts emerged in childhood, and he was a virtuoso keyboard player when he enrolled at the Vienna Music Academy at the age of sixteen. After studying with Heuberger for a year, he moved on to Leipzig, where he spent three years as a pupil of the great German late Romantic composer, Max Reger (1873–1916). He continued his studies at the University of Munster, and on completion of his doctorate, he returned to Vienna, where he was a Professor of Music from 1921–1929. It is indicative of the nature of Zador's talent that by the age of thirty-five, he had not composed-or tried to compose-any original work of note.
