In the final exam in 1896, he received a gold medal. From 1896 to 1901 he worked as a piano teacher at the same training facility. 1901/02 further studies followed with Alfred Reisenauer at the Conservatory of Music in Leipzig, where he was subsequently employed as a specialist teacher for the higher piano playing. In 1912 he was appointed Saxon professor. Appointed Bavarian professor in 1921, he returned to the Academy of Music in Munich and directed a master class for piano.

Pembaur also completed numerous concert tours. In Berlin he was one of the judges in the competition for the Ibach Prize .

In the spring of 1919 he recorded eight piano pieces for the Welte-Mignon reproduction piano , including two compositions by his father, probably his earliest recordings.

On October 29, 1918, Thomas Mann heard him at an event with Joachim von Delbrück , who was reading from his novel The Dying Chopin that evening . Mann commented on this in his diary: “ I listened to the music, namely the sonata with the funeral march , which P. played excellently, with great pleasure. In between this donkey from Delbrück thrashed its straw. We went before the last department. "

In 1906 he married the pianist Maria Elterich , the two also performed together on two pianos.
