Friedrich Gumpert

Friedrich Adolph Gumpert (27 April 1841, in Lichtenau (Thüringen) – 31 December 1906, in Leipzig) was a German horn player and teacher.

From 1860 he was a horn player, first in Bad Nauheim, then (after completing his military service) in Halle.

In October 1864, at the behest of Carl Reinecke, he became First Horn in the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, a position he held until 1899.

As well as Heinrich Lorbeer, his pupils included Anton Horner, Max Hess and Max Pottag, all three highly influential in the development of horn playing in the United States.
