#REDIRECT [[File:Shpazhinskaya Yuliya.jpg]]
Russian music critic, teacher and pianist (b. 7/19 March 1840 in [[Saint Petersburg]]; d. 27 September/9 October 1888 <ref name="note1"/> in [[Moscow]]), born '''''Nikolay Albertovich Gubert''''' (Николай Альбертович Губерт).
 
Hubert studied composition with [[Nikolay Zaremba]] and harmony with [[Anton Rubinstein]] at the [[Saint Petersburg]] Conservatory, where he formed a lifelong friendship with his fellow student Tchaikovsky. After graduating in 1869, Hubert moved to [[Kiev]], where he was a teacher in choral singing and music theory for the local branch of the Russian Musical Society, and also worked briefly as an opera conductor in [[Odessa]]. In 1871, he was appointed professor of music theory at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, where he once again worked alongside Tchaikovsky, and became its director after [[Nikolay Rubinstein]]'s death in 1881.
 
During the 1870s and 1880s he was also the music critic for the journals ''Contemporary Chronicle'' (Современная летопись) and ''Moscow Register'' (Московские ведомости).
 
Nikolay Hubert and his wife [[Aleksandra Hubert|Aleksandra]] were among Tchaikovsky's closest friends, and they each made piano transcriptions of many of the composer's orchestral works. Hubert left his post at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory in 1883 due to ill health, but returned to the faculty in 1885 and remained there until his death three years later.
