Biographical History
Stefan Auber (1903-1986) was a cellist. He was born in Vienna, where his father was his first teacher, and made his performance debut at the age of eight. Later, he was a student of the cellist Julius Klengel. In the late 1930s, he immigrated to the United States, where he enjoyed a successful career as a chamber music, orchestral, and solo performer. He played for three years with the violinist Rudolf Kolisch's quartet, which took part in the first recording of Arnold Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire under the composer's direction in 1940. Following the breakup of the Kolisch Quartet in 1942, Auber became principal cellist of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra under Fritz Reiner, a post he held at least until the mid-1950s. He continued to perform into the 1970s.
