German composer. An important figure in the history of German Romantic opera, linking Weber and Wagner. Born in Zittau. He went on to study law at the University of Leipzig, but studied composition under the local composer, Thomas Cantor Schicht. In 1816 he began his career as a music teacher in Pressburg (now Bratislava). Due to the success of the operas he composed there, he moved to Dresden in 1821, and in 1824 became music director at the opera house there. In 1827 he became conductor at the Leipzig City Theater, where he wrote his signature opera, The Knight and the Jew (1829). From 1831 onwards he worked as conductor at the court of Hanover, and died there. [Ryuichi Higuchi] Source: Shogakukan Encyclopedia Nipponica About Encyclopedia Nipponica Information | Legend |
