Max Fiedler - His Music and His Life

The German Max Fiedler was born in Zittau on December 31, 1859. He studied at the College of Music in Leipzig, Eastern Germany and became later an oustanding conductor in Hamburg, then, from 1908 until 1912 in Boston, and 1916 as Urban Music Director in Essen/Germany.

Especially his chamber music compositions and his wonderful and impressive "Symphony d-minor" from 1885 remained as classical music highlights forever.

Max Fiedler felt very much connected and obliged to Johannes Brahms (1833-1897).

Fiedler passed away on December 1, 1939 in Stockholm/Sweden.
