German hornist and composer. After studying with hornist August Haase,
he joined the Dresden Hofkapelle in 1844, where he served as a hornist
until his retirement in 1891. In October 1849 he engaged in a private
performance in the apartment of Johann Rudolph Lewy in Dresden of Robert
Schumann's Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra (op. 86) with the
composer in attendance. The event inspired Hübler to compose his own
Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra, written c.1855, the single
piece for which he is remembered. He was appointed royal chamber
musician in 1851, and in 1886 was given the title chamber virtuoso, in
recognition of his merits. Hübler was a founder of the Dresden
Tonkünstler-Verein and remained a member of its governing board for more
than two decades.
