Daniel (Gottlieb) Steibelt
(Berlin, 22 October 1765 - St Petersburg, 2 October 1823)

German composer and keyboardist. At an early age he came to the attention of the Berlin court as a talented musician, studying under Johann Philipp Kirnberger. Forced by his father to join the military, he deserted in 1784 and fled to central Germany, eventually winding up in Paris in 1790. Thereafter he traveled between the French capital and London on tour, and by 1793 he had established himself as a fashionable composer of operas. In 1799 he began a longer European tour as a soloist, returning to Paris several years later. He fled Paris in 1808 due to debts and made his way to St. Petersburg, where he wrote for the French theatre there. Although his music was seen as interesting and colorful, he had a reputation as a scoundrel who was both conceited and dishonest. He did, however, have a flair for the unusual when it came to his own compositions. His works include 16 operas, eight keyboard concertos (rivaling Johann Nepomuk Hummel in grandeur, the eighth of which requires two accompanying orchestras), a symphony, three quintets, seven quartets, 160 keyboard sonatas, 180 smaller works, and a harp concerto. #ClassicalMusic
