Hans Kronold (3 July 1872 – 10 January 1922) was a Polish-born Jewish cellist, composer, educator,[1] and a member of symphony orchestras of New York and Boston.[2] He was the first cellist to have his work recorded on audio, which he did for recording pioneer Gianni Bettini phonograph cylinders in the 1890s.[3]

Life and career

[edit]

Kronold was born in Kraków to Adolph Kronold and Louise (Hirschberg) Kronold. His sister was the opera soprano Selma Kronold;[4] a cousin of Polish pianist and composer Moritz Moszkowski.[5] He had his first musical training in Leipzig, where he studied with Max Kiesling (1866–1930).[6] He lived in Berlin for three years, where he extended his musical education with Professor Richard Vollrath,[6] and piano and harmony with Hans Rasch.[6] In 1886, he emigrated to New York,[6] resuming his studies with cellist Anton Hekking,[6] and S. Vreeman.[2]

Kronold, c. 1905

Kronold soon joined the Metropolitan Opera and shortly after the New York Symphony Orchestra,[7] where he played for five consecutive seasons.[6] In 1894, he married Rose Fischel and had two daughter, Nora and Sophie Kronold.[2] From 1900, he toured the United States and Canada for five years under the direction of Walter Damrosch,[2] accompanying not only singers and acclaimed violinists such as Maud Powell,[6] but also other renowned instrumentalists of his time.[6] On his return, he quit playing for orchestras and devoted himself to solo-playing and teaching at the New York College of Music.[8][7] He died in New York on 10 January 1922.[1]

Kronold made a number of 78 RPMs and phonograph cylinder recordings for Columbia Records,[9] and the Thomas A. Edison, Inc.,[10] publishing his compositions for cello and piano, violin and piano, and other songs through leading publishing houses such as the Oliver Ditson Company, Carl Fischer Music, and M. Witmark & Sons.[6]
