JOSEF PEMBAUR (INNSBRUCK, 20 APRIL, 1875 – MUNICH, 12 OCTOBER, 1950)

 

 

 

 

Born in Innsbruck, Pembaur was the son of the composer and music director Josef Pembaur the Elder (1848–1923). He got his first musical education by his father. From 1893 until 1896, he studied piano at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München with Ludwig Thuille, conducting with Ludwig Abel and composition and organ with Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. He was awarded a gold medal at the final examination in 1896. From 1896 to 1901, he worked as a piano teacher at the same school. In 1901/02, he continued his studies with Alfred Reisenauer at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig, where he was employed as a teacher for higher piano playing. In 1912, he was appointed professor of music in Saxony. In 1921, he was appointed professor in Bavaria, but he returned to the Academy of Music in Munich and taught a master class for piano. His students included Anna Renfer. Pembaur also completed numerous concert tours. In Berlin he was one of the judges in the competition for the Ibach Prize. In Spring 1919, Pembaur took eight piano pieces for the Reproduktionsklavier Welte-Mignon, including two compositions by his father, probably his earliest recordings. On 29 October 1918, Thomas Mann heard him in an event with Joachim von Delbrück, who was reading from his novel Der sterbende Chopin that evening. In 1906, he married the pianist Maria Elterich, and the two of them also performed together on two pianos. Pembaur’s brother Karl was a composer and choirmaster in Dresden. Pembaur died in Munich at the age of 75.
