Early Tubists in Munich

Post by E. Green »

This information is taken from a book about the history of the Bavarian State Orchestra (Munich Opera):

Bayerisches Staatsorchester
Ophikleidbläser – Barytonhornisten
Baß- und Kontrabaßtubabläser

Johann Horbelt 1882-1920 Kontrabaßist, auch Tubabläser

Rudolf Strobel 1869-1896

Ludwig Jäger 1906-1948 Kontrabaßist, auch Tubabläser
1914 auf die Dauer der Einberufung des A. Schottenheim und dessen Sohnes.

Franz-Paul Behr 1897-1908

Alois Schottenheim 1906-1923

Fritz Tritt 1909-1913

Ludwig Schottenheim 1919-1929 Interessante Vorgeschichte!

Wilhelm Girndt 1923-1931

Hermann Grenzner 1930-1958 Sein Sohn war Orchesterwart
beim BR-Symphonie-Orchester!
Georg Kugelmann 1926-1959

It is interesting that no tubists were indicated for earlier times. Some of the operas which implemented the tuba were given their first performances by that orchestra.
