SCHULHOFF, Julius—dear to player and
dancer for his Galop di Bravura, Impromptu
Polka, and many more brilliant and clever PF.
pieces—was born at Prague, August 2, 1825.
He learned the piano from Kisch, and counterpoint
from Tomasehek, and before he was
fourteen made a successful appearance as a
player. Notwithstanding his success, the boy's
ambition was too great to allow him to remain
in Prague, and in 1842 he went to Paris, then
a hotbed of pianoforte virtuosity. Here a
fortunate interview with Chopin gave him his
opportunity. He played in public (Nov. 2,
1845), and published his first two works, of
which op. 1, an Allegro Brillant, was dedicated
to Chopin. After a lengthened residence in
Paris he took a very extended tour through
France, Austria (1849-50), England, Spain
(1851V and even South Russia and the Crimea
(1853). He lived in Dresden from 1870, and
in Berlin from about 1897 ; he died in the
latter city March 13, 1898. A sonata in F
minor, and twelve Etudes, are among his more
earnest compositions. g.
SCHULTHEISS, Benedict, was the younger
son of HiERONYMUS ScHULTHEISS (1600-69),
and his second wife, whom he married in 1648.
Benedict became organist at S. Egidius, Nuremberg,
but he died at a comparatively early age
on March 1, 1693. He published first a set of
Clavier pieces : Muth und Geist ermunternder
Clavier -Lust. Erster Theil, Nlirnberg, 1679;
Andev Theil, 1680. Later he seems to have
devoted himself entirely to Church music, and
composed many Chorales which are still included
in the Evangelical Church-song ; they will be
found in the following works, all published in
his lifetime :
HeUigerSonntags-BandelundKirch-Wandel , . . durchSigmund
von Birkeu. NUmberg, 1681. Contains two melodies with figured
'
bass by Ben. Schulth.'
Der geistlichen Erquick-Btunden des . . . Heinr. MUllers . . .

melodiea with figured ba^ by Schiiltheiss.

W. C. D. (W. C. Dessler). NUmberg, 1692.
It contains twenty-five melodies with figured
bass ; Zahn included nine of them in his great
work Die Melodien der deutschen evangelisehen
Kirckenlieder, 1893, and thinks Schultheiss
composed all twenty -five, although only the
first eleven are initialled B. S. c. s.
SCHULTHESIUS, Johann Paul, was born
at Fechheim, Saxe-Coburg, on Sept. 14, 1748.
He received his first lessons in -music from his
father, a schoolmaster there ; in 1764 he
entered the local college to follow a course of
theology, became a member of the choir, and
remained there six years, acquiring a thorough
knowledge of music. From 1770 to 1773 he
was at the University of Erlangen, where he
completed his theological studies, while he was
able to obtain organ lessons from Kehl, an
excellent organist. He was then offered a post
at Leghorn, as Protestant minister to the
colony of Germans and Dutch settled there
he accepted and went to Italy, where he remained
for the rest of his life. Checchi was
organist at that time, and gave him lessons in
