Kuchler

Friedrich Küchler (1867–1937) was a German violinist, teacher, and composer who trained at the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt under Hugo Heermann, later returning there as a violin teacher and as violist in Heermann's own quartet. His career took him between Frankfurt and Basel, where he directed a private music school, before a final decade at the State Conservatory of Leipzig. His two-volume Course of Violin Instruction was a cornerstone of violin pedagogy until the mid-1960s; his student concertos have proved more durable still, and his concertinos in G and D are now firmly embedded in graded examination syllabuses on both sides of the Atlantic.
