Yes, Bruno Walter was indeed married.

The renowned conductor, Bruno Walter, married Elsa Korneck sometime in the first decade of the 20th century. This period also saw significant professional achievements for Walter, such as conducting the world premiere of Hans Pfitzner's Der arme Heinrich in 1900. Throughout his life, Walter maintained close personal relationships, notably remaining a dear friend to composer Hans Pfitzner and his wife. His deep connections were evident even in his final days, as his last letter, written the day before his passing, was addressed to Pfitzner's widow, Mali Pfitzner.
