EspañolHUGO BECKER
'Hugo Becker' (1864 – 1941) was a prominent 20th century cellist and cello teacher. He studied at a young age with Alfredo Piatti, and later Friedrich Grützmacher in Dresden.[1]
He was born in 1864 in Strasbourg, his father a famous violinist. His father tried teaching him violin at the age of six, but he loved cello, and switched over at the age of nine. By age fifteen he was touring with a string quartet made up of him, his father, sister, and brother. He had also become a leading cellist in the court orchestra in Mannheim.
In 1884, Becker was appointed solo cellist with the Frankfurt Opera Orchestra, and the following year became the leading cello teacher at the Frankfurt Hoch Conservatory. During this time he also toured extensively, and played chamber music with Eugène Ysaÿe and Ferruccio Busoni in a piano trio.
He owned two Strads: the 1720 ''Cristiani'' and another one built in 1719 now known as the ''Becker''.
