Carl Eberwein was the son of the local musician Alexander Bartholomäus Eberwein (1751-1811) from Weimar. When he was seventeen years old he joined the Grand Ducal Court Orchestra as a flautist and he remained a member of this orchestra until 1849. After Johann Wolfgang von Goethe saw his talent, he enabled him to study with Carl Zelter in Berlin. In 1812 Eberwein married Henriette Hässler, a successful opera singer. He was a good friend of Goethe. He first conducted at Goethe's home when he was 21 years old and for 25 years he directed home concerts at Goethe's house. He also wrote music to several of Goethe's works. Family • Wife: Eberwein, Henriette (1812-) Related persons • worked for Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von Events |
