He worked as a proof-reader at [[Jurgenson]]'s music publishing firm in [[Moscow]], and he also taught at the Conservatory and at the Nikolayevsky Women's Institute for Orphans. From time to time he helped Tchaikovsky to prepare his operas for publication — for example, in the summer of 1879 he arranged, together with [[Iosif Kotek]], the vocal-piano reduction of ''[[The Maid of Orleans]]''. Messer was also the author of a number of piano pieces and made piano transcriptions of Lensky's arioso and aria from ''[[Yevgeny Onegin]]''. Tchaikovsky at first had a very high opinion of Messer's musical and proofreading skills, but eventually he would begin finding lots of faults with his work<br />
