Heino Eller (7 March 1887 – 16 June 1970) was an Estonian composer and composition teacher.
Eller was born in Tartu, where he took private lessons in violin and music theory, played in several ensembles and orchestras, and performed as violin soloist. In 1907 he entered the Saint Petersburg Conservatory to study violin. From 1908 to 1911 he was a law student. In 1920 Eller graduated from the conservatory renamed to Petrograd Conservatory.
From 1920 to 1940, Eller was a professor of music theory and composition at the Tartu Higher School for Music. During this time he formed the Tartu school of composition, which gave rise to many composers, including Eduard Tubin.
In 1940 he became a professor of composition at the Tallinn Conservatory and taught there until his death in 1970. He was named a People's Artist of the USSR in 1967.
Eller was a legendary teacher of composition. The school he formed in Tartu counterbalanced the so-called Tallinn school headed by Artur Kapp. Eller’s pedagogical talent is versatile. The list of his pupils offers the best proof of this: each of them has created a distinguished original style.
Among his students were:
Eller primarily composed instrumental music. His symphonic works, especially Koit and Videvik, break new ground for Estonian symphonic music. His musical language contains many national traits, but he was influenced by 20th-century styles as diverse as impressionism and expressionism.
Heino Eller was married to pianist Anna Kremer who was executed at a concentration camp by German occupational authorities in 1942 because of her Jewish ethnicity.

Heino (born 13 December 1938 as Heinz Georg Kramm) is a German singer of popular music (Schlager) and traditional Volksmusik. Having sold a total of over 50 million records, he is one of the most successful German musicians ever.
Known for his baritone voice and trademark combination of light blond hair and dark sunglasses (which he wears due to exophthalmos), Heino resides in the town of Bad Münstereifel, where he owned a cafe until June 2012. His interest in music started when his mother gave him an accordion in 1948, although his family could barely afford it.
Heino was born December 13, 1938 in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk, Germany to Heinrich and Franziska Kramm. His father was a Catholic dentist, his mother a Protestant. His grandfather was the organist at the Cathedral of Cologne. He also had two cousins who were Catholic priests. Heino's father was drafted into the German army during World War II, and was killed August 2, 1941 during the invasion of the Soviet Union.
Until 1945, Heino lived with his mother and his older sister Hannelore in Pomerania. In 1945 he began school in Großenhain (Saxony). After 1952 he went to Düsseldorf where he initially trained as a baker and confectioner. In June, 1959, he married 18-year-old Henriette Heppner.

Am Samstag abend war es wieder mal soweit -
mir fehlte gar nichts
nur ein bißchen Zärtlichkeit.
Am Samstag abend tat es wieder richtig weh
und die alten Freunde
nein
die wollte ich nicht sehn.
Am Samstag abend verkroch ich mich zu Haus
um dich in Gedanken fest zu umarmen
und mein Verlangen trug mich zu dir hinaus.
Nein
ich kann nicht solang' ohne Zärtlichkeit sein
und ich werd' noch verrückt in dem Zimmer allein.
Bitte glaub mir
ich weiß ich bin stark
doch ich wär so gerne schwach
und ich brauch' deine Hand auf dem Weg durch die Nacht -
ich hab dich so lieb.
Am Samstag abend war die Stille schrecklich laut -
mir fehlte gar nichts
nur die Wärme deiner Haut.
Am Samstag abend sah ich viel zu oft zur Tür
und manchmal fragend zu deinem Bild auf dem Klavier.
Am Samstag abend fehltest du mir sehr
und ohne dein Streichelm von deinen Händen
kann ich nicht schlafen.
glaube mir
ich brauche dich sehr.
Nein
ich kann nicht solang' ohne Zärtlichkeit sein
Am Samstag abend war es wieder mal soweit.
f dem Weg durch die Nacht -
ich hab dich so lieb.
