Adolf Aber

In 1911, he passed his school-leaving examination as a primary school pupil at the Realgymnasium Weimar, which he would only have been able to do in Apolda when he reached full maturity in 1914.

His doctoral thesis, entitled Die Pflege der Musik unter den Wettinern und wettinischen Ernestinern von den Anfängen bis zur Auflösung der Weimarer Hofkapelle 1662[1] was considered so important that it was published in book form in 1921.

When the National Socialists came to power, Aber emigrated to London with his wife, Mignon, née Platky.

Through Aber's dedicated work, the dissemination of folk songs by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, and Johannes Brahms succeeded.

In the obituary of the publishing house Novello & Co., it says about him: "Adolf Aber — a man of comprehensive culture and stimulating temperament.
