Carl (Karl) Christian Agthe [Aghte]
(Hettstedt, 16 June 1762 - Ballenstedt, 27 November 1797)

German organist and composer. He first learnt music with his grandfather Johann Michael Agthe, Kantor at the Rathsschule, and his great-uncle Andreas Agthe, a local organist; he later continued his musical studies as a choirboy and as a member of the local Stadtpfeiferei. From 1776 to 1782 he was director of music with the Hündelberg theatrical company in Reval (now Tallinn), where he composed his first Singspiele 'Martin Velten' (1778). He then moved to Ballenstedt to join the court orchestra of Prince Friedrich Albrecht of Anhalt-Bernburg as an organist and harpsichordist. There he became known as one of the best organists of his time and, after further studies with Friedrich Wilhelm Rust, as an active composer of Singspiele, songs and instrumental pieces. His best-known work is a setting of August Friedrich Ferdinand von Kotzebue’s 'Der Spiegelritter' (1795), which was first performed by an amateur society in Ballenstedt and several times revived. He also left 11 symphonies, two concertos, and 14 Dances. His son Albrecht Wilhelm Johann Agthe (1790-1873) was a pianist, teacher and composer.
