about

Theodor Kullak (September 12, 1818 - March 1, 1882) was a German pianist, composer, and teacher. Kullak was born in Krotoschin (Krotoszyn) in the Grand Duchy of Posen.

The kindly Prince Radziwill then saw to a rounded education for Kullak, sponsoring his school fees in Sulechów (now in Poland). Kullak eventually lost Radziwill's patronage and from the age of thirteen to eighteen had to use with just occasional access to a piano.

A new aristocratic friend, Ingenheim, provided a small stipend which allowed him music studies with Siegfried Dehn and E. E. Taubert. Ingenheim was also instrumental in providing him with several pupils of rank. Medicine was not close to Kullak's heart. Music was a
