Life and work

Brassin Louis, the son of actor couple De Brassine gave his first concert at the age of six years in Hamburg. A year later, the father had a job in Leipzig and Louis attended the Conservatory as a pupil of Ignaz Moscheles. A memorable concert was the then eight- year-old in 1848 in Stade, where he along with his five year old brother Leopold, whom he had taught himself to play the piano, occurred. In 1857 he performed under the stage name Brassin for the first time in Belgium. From 1866 he taught at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin. After his appointment as professor of piano at the Conservatory of Brussels, he settled in 1869 for ten years in Belgium, where he played an important role in the musical life of the country. In 1878 he took over the piano class of Theodor Leschetizky the Saint Petersburg Conservatory.
