Gustav Swoboda
- Violin

Prof. Gustav Swoboda, as well as Prof. Hübner, was a member
of Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra for many years. After retirement he had taught in
Musikhochschule in Vienna as a Professor. So, he was called "Professor" and
familiar with Mr. Fischer and the members of the Orchestra. He was one of the original
member of Haydn Orchestra and was very important player, so even last year, he sat in the
second row of the first violins, and sometimes consulted with other member about the
adjustment of violin. He was the first orchestra member that I met. When I visited
Haydnsaal first time, I was in trouble since somebody locked the exit of auditorium, then
he came smiling and kindly showed another exit at the back stage. He passed away Spring
of 1996.
