Beginning at
five years old, Wilhelm Lansky-Otto began
intensive musical studies in piano. Later his
studies included the violin, music theory and
organ. He concertized and taught piano on many
occasions throughout his life.
Positions include: principal horn in the Danish
Radio Orchestra (1936-1945), teacher at the
Reykjavik Conservatory, principal horn in the
Stockholm Philharmonic, and teacher at the State
Academy of Music in Stockholm.
As a teacher and player, he inspired a
so-called "Lansky-school" of horn
playing. Indeed, many of the prominent horn
players throughout Scandinavia today are either
pupils of, or have been influenced by the
"Lansky-school" style.
Deceased Honorary IHS Member, Sweden. See the Wilhelm
