He began his creative career as the bandmaster of the Opera House in Odessa and the National Theater in Innsbruck. In 1865, as a bandmaster at the Vienna Karl Theater, he worked with Franz von Zuppe. From 1866 to 1869 he served in the 17th Infantry Regiment of the Austro-Hungarian Army with a deployment in Bolzano. From 1869 to 1870 he served in the 23rd regiment in Petrovaradin, and then, in 1871, in the 20th regiment in Krakow.
