Paul Walter Fürst (25 April 1926 – 28 February 2013)[1] was an Austrian musician and composer. He was also president of the AKM Authors, Composers and Music Publishers [de] (AKM) since 1998 and for many years managing director and president of the Österreichischen Interpretengesellschaft (OESTIG).
Fürst was born in Vienna, the son of the lawyer Rudolf Fürst and his wife Anna. In his childhood, he first learned the violin and piano, played in the children's orchestra and took part in various competitions.[3]
Fürst attended the Musisches Gymnasium Frankfurt, where he completed his training in tuba, trombone, score playing and in rhythm and ear training. He also participated in the school choir. He made his first contacts with composing through the director of the grammar school, Kurt Thomas, who taught him the first compositional basics. His acquaintance with Hugo Distler and his works awakened in him the definite desire to compose.[4]
After successfully completing his studies in 1952, Fürst became principal violist with the Tonkünstler-Orchester Niederösterreich in the same year until 1954 and in the following years with the Munich Philharmonic (1954–1961) and the Vienna State Opera Orchestra (1961–1990). From 1969 to 1982 and from 1984 to 1990, he was managing director of the Vienna Philharmonic. Until his death, he held many offices, including president of the OESTIG and the AKM.[5]
On the evening of 28 February 2013, Fürst died of cancer at the age of 86.
