My Take

What draws me to Hans Huber is the quiet ambition of a small-town Swiss kid from Solothurn who trained at Leipzig and then spent a lifetime building, not chasing applause. That set of 24 Preludes and Fugues for piano four-hands, spanning every major and minor key, is a love letter to Bach written in his own hand, and the five operas show he never stopped reaching. He feels like the backbone of late-Romantic Swiss music, an unglamorous craftsman whose patience I respect more than any flash of genius. History keeps him in the margins, but I think that diligence deserves a louder cheer.

Overview

Hans Huber (28 June 1852 – 25 December 1921) was a Swiss composer. Between 1894 and 1918, he composed five operas. He also wrote a set of 24 Preludes and Fugues, Op. 100, for piano four-hands in all major and minor keys.
