Paul Büttner, born in Dresden in 1870, studied violin and oboe at the music conservatory there. Over the years, he built up an outstanding reputation as an excellent musician. But it was not until 1915, when his 3rd Symphony was successfully premiered by none other than Arthur Nikisch, that the international music scene spoke of a promising composer of the modern era, as a successor to Anton Bruckner and Johannes Brahms. This was helped by the equally successful premiere of his 4th Symphony in 1917. However, in 1933 the regime classified his music as "degenerate" and banned the composer and his works from all public attention.
