Life

Early years

He was born on 7 May 1897 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, where his father, a successful Dutch operatic bass, was then based. The family soon moved to Belgium and Marcel eventually took Belgian nationality. His brother, Robert Maas was a cellist.

Career

He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with Arthur De Greef and soon began an international career.[1] In 1933 he became a professor at the Royal Brussels Conservatoire.[2]

During the 1930s he joined the Quator Pro Arte, created with violinist Alfred Dubois and Robert Maas.[3] Pro Arte became one of three outstanding sonata partnerships which flourished in the 1930s, along with Adolf Busch – Rudolph Serkin and Szymon Goldberg/Lili Kraus.[4]
