Stéphan Elmas (1862 – August 11, 1937) was an Armenian composer, pianist and teacher. A child prodigy, he studied in Vienna with Anton Door and Franz Krenn. A highly successful recital in Vienna’s Bösendorfer-Saal in 1887 followed by a busy concert schedule, with Elmas scoring artistic triumphs in France, England, Germany, Austria and Italy. He mostly programmed his own works, which were composed rapidly and with great ease, as well as works by Beethoven, Chopin and Schumann. Recently, the composer’s works have been experiencing a revival, thanks to the efforts of pianist Armen Babakhanian.
