After studying piano and organ locally with a teacher who had trained at the Leipzig Conservatory, Huss traveled to Munich to study at the Royal Conservatory with Josef Rheinberger, then returning to the States and embarking on a career as a touring piano virtuoso. As a composer, he was regarded as one of the best of his generation by those who counted, but unfortunately, it was at a time when American composers could rarely get a hearing for their works.  An exhaustive study of Huss' life and music, with a complete catalog of compositions, has been published: \u003ci style=\"\"\u003eHenry Holden Huss: An American Composer's Life,\u003c\/i\u003e by Gary A.

Taught the piano by his mother and later by Sydney Moss, in 1901, aged 14 or 15, he made a concert tour of more than 280 towns and cities in Australia and New Zealand, the first of a number of tours. In 1904, the visiting Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski met Boyle and suggested that he study with Ferruccio Busoni in Berlin. Boyle was touring with Mark Hambourg at the time, and it was Hambourg who ensured Boyle was introduced to Busoni in 1905. He studied with Busoni for five years, from 1905 to 1910.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5px;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eIn 1909 Boyle played Chopin's 1st Piano Concerto at The Proms, under Henry Wood, an engagement that Busoni had secured for him.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5px;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eAlso in 1909, Busoni edited Franz Liszt's Polonaise No. 2 by replacing the existing ending, which he considered unsatisfactory, with a more fitting brilliant cadenza and coda, and dedicated this edition to George Frederick Boyle.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBoyle himself became renowned as a performer of Liszt's Sonata in B minor.
