conjointly with Valentino from 1824 to 1831,
and alone from 1831 to 1847. In 1825 aspecial
violin class was formed for him at the Conservatoire,
which he retained till Oct. 1848. Among
his pupils may he mentioned Cn^'illon, Alard,
Clapisson, and Leonaid. Habeneck has the
merit of having founded (1828) and conducted
for twenty years the Societe des Concerts du
Conservatoire. He was also the Ih'st to introduce
Beethoven's symphonies in France, steadily persevering
against all opposition, and at length executing
tliemwithaforce, sentiment, and delicacy,
which were very remarkable. As a conductor
he was exacting, and nnmerciful to singers ^vho
did not keep strict time. Out of respect to
Cherubini he never exercised his office of ' Inspecteur
general des classes du Conservatoire, 'hut
he was an energetic director of Louis Philijtpc's
concerts at the Tuileries. He composed violin
music (two concertos, three duos, a nocturne,
caprices, and a polonaise), variations for string
quartet and for orchestra, several pieces for
' Aladin '
(1822), and a ballet ' Le Page incon-
stant' (1823). This distinguished musician
and conductor died in Paris, Feb. 8, 1849.
He received the Legion of Honour in 1822.

HABERBIER, Ernst, born Oct. 5, 1813, at
Kbnigsberg, was taught the pianoforte by his
father, an organist, and in 1832 set up in St.
Petersburg as a pianist and teacher. In 1847
he became court pianist, and in 18.50 undertook
extended concert-tours, playing in London M'ith
success. After perfecting a method of his own,
which depended greatly on tile division of
passages between the two hands, he played at
Copenhagen, Kiel, and Hamburg, and created
a sensation in Paris in 1852. He also appeared
in Russia and Germany, and settled at Bergen
in Norway in 1866. He died suddenly while
playing at a concert in Bergen, jNIarch 12, 1869.
His compositions are mostly ephemeral works
for piano, and include a set of ' Etudes poesies.'

which had been begun in 1862 by T. de "Witt,
J. N. Rauch, F. Espagne, and F. Conmier. The
completion of this work in thirty-two volumes in
1894 was mainly o«'ing to his untiring energy, to
which is due the recovery of much nmsic by the
great Roman comjioser that had been previously
lost. Dr. Haberl has contributed much valuable
matter to the Baasteine zitr Musikijeschuhte, the
Moiiatshcfiefilr Musikgeschichte, and especially to
