Life

Max Hieber was born on April 27, 1856, the son of the violinist and court musician Michael Hieber (1812–87), who also appeared as a tenor in smaller concerts. Max learned to play the violin first from his father, then at the music school founded by King Ludwig II. In 1867, and appeared in public for the first time in June 1871 in one of their examination concerts with two movements from Beethoven's violin concerto. In the same year he was employed as a student in the Munich court orchestra. During this time he also received training as a clerk and accountant. In 1873 Max Hieber was appointed "court musician" like his father and in 1881 even "chamber musician". The climax of his career as a violinist was his one-off appearance as a soloist in a concert of the Musical Academy under Levi with Max Bruch's Violin Concerto in G minor on April 2, 1877. Until the mid-1890s, he played regularly in various chamber music associations with pianists, but also a string quartet with his brother Carl, the violist.

In 1884 he founded a music store with an affiliated music publisher on Marienplatz in Munich. In 1888, Hieber was appointed professor at the Royal Bavarian Music School, after having worked there for several years as a teacher. Since the activity in his business increasingly demanded him, he gave up his position in the court orchestra in 1896, and in 1905 also the music school, which had meanwhile been elevated to the Academy of Music. Hieber's second wife Anna gave birth to their son Adolf Hieber in 1898 , who later continued the company and became second mayor of Munich in 1956.

Max Hieber died on January 16, 1914 in his hometown.
