Emma Lübbecke-Job (* 1888 in Bonn ; † 1982 ) was a German pianist . She was Paul Hindemith's chamber music partner for many years and was the first to perform all of the composer's compositions for piano and a large number of chamber music works.

Live and act

Emma Lübbecke-Job studied at the Cologne Conservatory with Isidor Seiß and Elly Ney ; In 1905 she passed the concert exam with distinction. In the 1920s she was active in what was then the musical avant-garde; The house of Emma Lübbecke-Job and her husband, the art historian Fried Lübbecke in Frankfurt am Main, the old Schopenhauerhaus , was an important meeting point for artistic exchange.

Today, Lübbecke is considered the first significant interpreter of the early piano works by Paul Hindemith , with whom she was close friends. As early as 1918 she performed Hindemith's Quintet in E minor (op. 7) with the Rebner Quartet; in 1924 he dedicated his chamber music No. 2 (op. 36). Furthermore she worked u. a. at the world premiere of Das Marienleben (op. 27, 1922/1923) and the concert music for piano, brass and two harps, op. 49, (1930), which took place on March 6, 1931 with the young Benjamin Britten in the audience.

From 1916 to 1934 she made concert tours through Europe, Russia and America. From 1946 she belonged to the Darmstadt Secession . She taught the later jazz musician Hans Otto Jung .
