Werner Hübschmann
Werner Hübschmann was a German composer and docent.
Hübschmann was born in Chemnitz. If one looks at the catalogue of works of the composer, the folk music takes up the widest space in it. There for example, one can find music for mandolin orchestra and accordion, like the Sonatine for accordion or Toccata for accordion, but also instruments like the guitar and the zither which were considered by Hübschmann worth compositions.
After musical studies in Dresden and at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig with Grabner and later with E. Wolff in Zurich he worked as a private music teacher in Leipzig and Chemnitz. On 1 October 1950 he was one of the co-founders of the Chemnitz Folk Music School. From 1952 he worked as a lecturer for composition at the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt, Weimar, the city where he died at the age of 68.Compositions
