Abstract
Simon Kovar was one of the principal bassoon pedagogues in the United States between 1923 and 1957. Born in 1890 in Vilna, Russia, he attended the St. Petersburg Conservatory to study violin with Leopold Auer. At Alexandre Glazunov’s suggestion, due to the Bolshevik Revolution and the onset of World War I, Kovar switched to bassoon. He emigrated to the United States in 1922, where he became a member of the New York Philharmonic from 1923 to 1949. Kovar then devoted his time to teaching at a number of prominent colleges and universities. In 1948 he began editing music for the International Music Company in order to make the music he taught more readily available and to avoid spending valuable lesson time changing the music. When Kovar retired from his teaching positions in 1957, he and his family moved to Encino, California, where he lived until his death in 1970.
