After a study stay in Italy, he worked as a private lecturer in Munich from 1909, where he habilitated in musicology in 1910, and from 1914 to 1915 he was director of the Salzburg Mozarteum. In 1915 he went to Dresden, was music editor of the Dresdner Nachrichten until 1939 and taught as a lecturer of musicology from 1916, and from 1918 as professor at the Technische Universität Dresden. From 1939 to 1955 he was director of the Musikbibliothek Peters in Leipzig.
