Anton (Franz de Paula Josef Vincenz Ferrerius) Eberl
(Vienna, 13 June 1765 - Vienna, 11 March 1807)

Austrian pianist and composer. He displayed great musical talent at an early age and gave private piano recitals in Vienna at the age of eight. Early composition and keyboard lessons were taken with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Although Eberl intended to study law at the University of Vienna, family bankruptcy in 1785 forced him to teach piano. In 1795 he accompanied both Mozart’s widow and sister-in-law Aloysia Lange on a concert tour to Germany, from which he accepted a post at St. Petersburg the following year. He returned to Vienna in 1803 at the height of his popularity as a composer of Singspiels but died of blood poisoning shortly thereafter. The Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung remarked that the early death of an artist had seldom been so generally regretted as his was. Although Eberl was highly regarded as a theatre composer most of his stage works are lost. His music reflects the late Viennese style of his teacher and other composers such as Antonio Salieri, being well crafted and tuneful. Works include eight Singspiels (all lost), two cantatas, a chamber serenata, five symphonies, four fortepiano concertos, a sextet, two quintets, five quartets, nine trios, seven violin sonatas, two duos, nine keyboard sonatas, and numerous smaller pieces for the fortepiano.
