Carl Maria Friedrich Ernst, Freiherr von Weber (November 18, 1786 in Eutin, Holstein – June 5, 1826 in London, England) was a German composer, conductor, pianist, critic, one of the first significant composers of the Romantic school. Weber's works, especially his operas Der Freischutz , Euryanthe and Oberon greatly influenced the development of the Romantic opera in Germany. He was also an innovative composer of instrumental music. His compositions for the Clarinet , which include two concertos, a concertino, a quintet and a duo concertante, are regularly performed, while his piano music - including four sonatas, two concertos and the Konzertstuck (Concert Piece) in F minor - influenced composers such as Frederic Chopin , Franz Liszt and Felix Mendelsohn . The Konzertstuck provided a new model for the one-movement concerto in several contrasting sections (such as Liszt's, who often played the work), and was acknowledged by Igor Stravinsky as the model for his Capriccio for piano and orchestra. Weber's contribution to vocal and choral music is also significant. His body of Catholic religious music was highly popular in 19th century Germany, and he composed one of the earliest song-cycles, Die Temperamente beim Verluste der Geliebten. Weber's orchestration has also been highly praised and emulated by later generations of composers - Hector Berlioz referred to him several times in his Treatise on Orchestration while Claude Debussy remarked that the sound of the Weber orchestra was obtained through the scrutiny of the soul of each instrument. His operas influenced the work of later composers such as Heinrich Marschner , Giacomo Meyerbeer and Richard Wagner , and homage has been paid him by 20th century composers such as Debussy , Stravinsky , Gustav Mahler (who completed Weber's unfinished comic opera Die drei Pintos and made revisions of Euryanthe and Oberon) and Paul Hindemith (composer of the popular Symphonic Metamorphoses of Themes of Weber). Weber also wrote music journalism and was interested in folksong, and learned lithography to engrave his own works.

Most of the score to Das Waldmüdchen, like the score to Weber’s first juvenile opera Die Macht der Liebe und des Weins (1798–99), was believed to have disappeared in the early nineteenth century. Only two score fragments of the music to Das Waldmüdchen, Weber’s first publicly-performed stage work, were known to have survived. There was no indication why the thirteen-year-old boy had composed the score, nor was there reliable information in English sources about Weber’s librettist Steinsberg. Little to nothing was known of the caliber of the cast that first performed the opera, including any of their former accomplishments or any subsequent activities. |
