Tchaikovsky frequently attended concerts given by Pabst and referred to him as " a pianist of divine elegance" and "a pianist from God." Pabst was considered the greatest Professor of Piano at the Moscow Conservatory. Pabst was also admired by Liszt. Pabst and Rachmaninoff performed many concerts together. Pabst was known for his Tchaikovsky transcriptions but also for his own compositions. He fingered Arensky's piano concerto and was soloist at its premiere. At the invitation of Anton Rubinstein's brother, Nikolai he was invited to teach at the Moscow Conservatory.
Anton Rubinstein conducted the premiere of Pabst Piano Concerto which is dedicated to SIloti.
