About their life

Richard Heinrich Stein was a German composer and musicographer. He is best known for the symbols he developed to notate quarter-tones, which Stein first used in his Op. 26 pieces, the Zwei Konzertstücke für Violoncello und Klavier. Three of the symbols Stein uses in these pieces have become part of the standard system of quarter-tone notation known as the Stein-Zimmermann accidentals. The Zwei Konzertstücke are among the earliest pieces of music published in Europe to incorporate quarter-tones.
