Herr Herbst has played in many
different parts of Europe, acting az
soloist in orchestras in Sweden,
Switzerland and in all parts of Ger
many. During the latter part of his
career he gave private instruction.
He had pupils everywhere, and be-
came widely known over Germany as
soloist and instructor. He was al
ways a careful listener of good vio-
linists and it is due to this faculty
together with his natural ability, that
he owes his training. His ideal VIC
linist is Marteau, having heard him
play many times.
The new instructor is a great adj
mirer of the classical composer, but
does not limit himself to the classics
His repertoire is exceedingly large,
due to his wonderful ability to COM
NIT and then remember. The violin
which he now has is a genuine Italian
instrument, having been made by
Rogerius in 1874.
The College is indeed fortunate IN
securing the services of man OF
such a national reputation, and the
people who have heard him here GER
tainly agree that he will bring forth
great results from the violin depart
ment

HERR HER BST

Herr HerbStS career as a ViOliniSt
reads like a fairy tale He was born
at Muelhausen, Germany, and from
early childhood his one wish was to
become yioinist. In his sixth year
he mother gave him toy violin as
Christmas present but he immedi-
ately broken it into. pieces, as he
wanted a large violin Then his
father, who was a cabinetmaker,
made him a Child-siZe violin and here
began his career as violinist His
exceptional musical ability immedi-
ately showed itself He PLAYED only
by ear, but he could, and did, repro
duce any and all music that he heard
One day the 'cellist in the city orchas-
ira of Nuelhausen heard him play
and offered to tutor him. Even then
Herr Herbst did not learn to read
music, as his instructor taught him
to play by first playing the exercise
for his pupil and then having him
rely upon his ear to reproduce the
exercise, Herr Herbst went through
the entire Henning school in this
manner
After finishing grade school at the
age of IA, Herr Herbst went into APP
premiership in the city orchestra in
his home town. AS yet his marvel
Gus genius was unnoticed ant he was
given to the bass viol player as his
pupil 1t was here that, he learned
to play by note, for up to this time
he had played entirely by ear. 1t is
the custom in Germany for each city
orchestra player to learn two instru-
ments, so Herr Herbst learned to
play the cornet and made excellent
progress upon this instrument. He
soon became an exceptional player
and was we'll known as a cornetist
! During the first part of his appren-
ticeship his main instrument was the
| cornet, but he still had a yearning
to be a violinist and kept up his VIC
| lin work by himself and was soon

Up to the age of 90 he had had no
regular instructor, but while soloist
in the city orchestra he was heard by

| Gotha. who asked him to come and
study at the conservatory. He was
soon given the position of director Of
the city orchestra and this made a
