Abert stayed on at Halle as a lecturer, becoming a senior lecturer (or associate professor) in 1910 and a full professor in 1918. In this capacity he moved the next year to theUniversity of Heidelberg. But after just one year, Abert took up a post atLeipzig and in 1920 he became the successor of the music theoristHugo Riemann. In 1923 he was called to theUniversity of Berlin, where he was seen as the most suitable successor toHermann Kretzschmar, also a music theorist. It was there that he worked withFriedrich Blume,Rudolf Gerber, Hans Hoffmann and Theodor Schwartzkopff, on the illustratedDictionary of Music which was discovered to contain plagiarisms ofAlfred Einstein'sNeues Musiklexikon und HugoRiemann Musiklexikon.[1]
