Paul Buttner was born in Dresden in 1870 and studied violin and oboe there at the Conservatory. Over the years Buttner could increasingly establish as a fantastic musician in Dresden. But he stayed virtually completely unknown before 1915, when famous Arthur Nikisch premiered his Symphony No. 3. Since that, Buttner was named one of the greatest and most important contemporary symphonists in succession to Brahms and Bruckner. His Symphony No. 4 from 1917 continued the success and was performed by many different orchestras.In 1933 his music was marked as “unwanted” and the regime deleted him completely fromthe public music culture.
