Ferdinand Lachner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinand Lachner (born March 23, 1856 in Prague ; † October 23, 1910 there ) was a Czech violinist and music teacher.

Lachner had his first violin lessons with Erasmus Laub , the father of the violinist and composer Ferdinand Laub . He attended the Prague Conservatory from 1870 to 1876 , was a student of František Zdeněk Skuherský at the Prague Organ School and took lessons from Zdeněk Fibich . He then worked as concertmaster in Wroclaw, Warsaw and from 1883 to 1887 at the National Theater in Prague. From 1887 he taught at the Prague Conservatory, where Ema Destinová was one of his students.

He became friends with Antonín Dvořák , with whom he traveled through the Bohemian Forest in the summer of 1878. With him and the cellist Alois Neruda (later Hanuš Wihan ) he formed a piano trio. He played the world premiere of several violin works by Dvořák and accompanied him with Wihan on a farewell tour through Bohemia and Moravia, which he undertook before leaving for the USA in 1892.
