On 15 April 1890, his "Orpheus" symphony was performed in Steinway Hall, New York, under the baton of Theodore Thomas.[3] He became professor of pianoforte at Weimar in 1893. From 1898 to 1903 he taught at Berlin, in the Klindworth-Scharwenka Conservatory.
In 1920 he became head of the piano master class at the German Academy (Deutschen Akademie für Musik und Darstellende Kunst) in Prague.
He made some Welte-Mignon recordings in 1905, of music by Liszt, Schumann and others. He also wrote a Requiem, two symphonies, a piano concerto, three piano sonatas, two string quartets, and other works. None of these are in the current repertoire.
He married the pianist Margarete Wegelin. Their son Joachim (1893–1947) was also a pianist and teacher. He died in Berlin.
