I learned to play the viola myself. In 1907-1910 he played in the Berlin Blütner Orchestra, then in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1911 he met Schoenberg, participated in the premiere of his "Moon Pierrot". In 1914-1916 he conducted in Riga. He spent 1916-1918 in a Russian prison camp. In 1918 he returned to Berlin, founded a New Musical Society, and in 1919 created the magazine "Melos" dedicated to contemporary music.
