Hübler, born on December 4, 1822 in Wachwitz, joined the Dresden Court Orchestra as a French horn player on November 1, 1844 and was promoted to Royal Chamber Musician on October 16, 1851. He held this position until his retirement on November 1, 1891. His outstanding achievements were recognized in 1886 with his appointment as a chamber virtuoso. As one of the co-founders of the Tonkunstler Association in Dresden, Hübler was active on the board for 25 years. He also composed several solo horn works and performed them publicly. He died on April 14, 1894 in Dresden.
Concert piece for 4 Horns and Orchestra
In October 1849 he played in his first private performance in the apartment of the horn player Joseph Rudolf Lewy in Dresden together with the horn players Lorenz and Schlitterlau. Robert Schumann was present at this performance where they performed Schumann's Concert Piece for 4 Horns and Orchestra Op. 86. This event was certainly the trigger for Hübler, with his profound knowledge of the horn, to compose his own work for this instrumentation. In 1856 he completed his concert piece for 4 horns and orchestra in Dresden. The new edition was edited under use of the first edition, print by C.A. Klemm in Leipzig.
The orchestral parts set includes the string parts 6/5/4/3/3 - plus the tutti winds, timpani and the parts of the 4 solo horns. Additional string parts are available on request.
