Entusiasta seguidor de Richard Wagner, se mezcló en las disputas existentes en Viena, por aquel entonces, entre wagnerianos y formalistas o brahmsianos. Fue una persona muy entusiasta, pero muy desequilibrada también. Destacó en el género de la «canción» (lied), en el que publicó varias antologías de poemas agrupados por el nombre de poetas de los que estaban tomadas: Mörike (más de 50 lieder) Eichendorff Goethe En torno a 1888, las tres cuartas partes de su catálogo eran de canciones (más de 200).
