Traugott Maximilian Eberwein
(Weimar, 27 October 1775 - Rudolstadt, 2 December 1831)

German violinist and composer, elder brother of Carl Eberwein. He was the eldest of three sons of Alexander Bartholomäus Eberwein (1751-1811), the Weimar ducal court and town musician whose brother Christian was violinist at Frankfurt before becoming violinist (1794) and musical director (1811) of the Rudolstadt court orchestra. After taking violin lessons from his father, Traugott studied theory with F.L.A. Kunzen in Frankfurt and the violin with Ernst Schick in Mainz. He had some further instruction from J.C. Kittel (counterpoint) in Erfurt and, stopping at Naples on a concert tour through Germany, France and Italy (1803), with Fedele Fenaroli. After a visit to Hamburg (1796), he was engaged as court musician to Prince Ludwig Friedrich von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt in the following year, later becoming chamber musician (1810) and Kapellmeister (1817) at Rudolstadt. Traugott's reputation rests largely on the standard of performance attained under his direction at Rudolstadt and his work as an early founder of music festivals in Germany, in addition to his many compositions. His settings of Goethe, with whom he was on friendly terms, include the Tafellied Mich ergreift, ich weiss nicht wie and dramatic works, among them the Singspiele Claudine von Villa Bella (1815) and Der Jahrmarkt zu Plundersweilen (1818). Although his songs are modelled on those of Berlin composers such as J.F. Reichardt, Neapolitan elements in them show the influence of Fenaroli. Some of Traugott's more popular songs appeared in student and choral songbooks; he also composed operas, Singspiele and incidental music for the theatre; cantatas, a mass, an oratorio and a Te Deum; concertos, chamber and orchestral music. He also wrote reviews for music journals. #ClassicalMusic
