Heinrich Hübler

Carl Heinrich Hübler (Wachwitz, near Dresden, 4 December 1822 – 14 April 1893) was the hornist in the Dresden Royal Court orchestra from 1844 until his retirement in 1891. He was appointed royal chamber musician in 1851 and 1886 was given the title chamber virtuoso, in recognition of his merits.

In October 1849 Hübler engaged in a private performance in the apartment of Johann Rudolph Lewy in Dresden of Robert Schumann's Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra (op. 86) with the composer in attendance. The event inspired Hübler to compose his own Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra, written 1854-56, the single piece for which he is remembered. His horn concerto is also sometimes played and has been recorded.

Hübler was a founder of the Dresden Tonkünstler-Verein and remained a member of its governing board for more than two decades.

gollark: Technically, all attacks are physical attacks because they work on the laws of physics.

gollark: If I connect a random number generator to my universe destroying cuboid, say, and make it destroy the universe if it generates 4, then you have a chance of seeing any valid outcome but 4.
gollark: Not "the" timeline. There are generally lots of ways which things could turn out which still result in you living.
