Live and act

Cartellieri's parents were singers; the father Antonio was a son of the Milan-born Mecklenburg-Strelitz 's chamber singer Anton Cartellieri, the mother Elisabeth, nee. Böhm came from Riga in Latvia. When they got divorced (he was 14 years old), he went to Berlin with his mother . There he took composition lessons. In 1791 he found the position of court composer and music director with one of the Count Oborsky. Just one year later he celebrated his first successes in Berlin with the cantatas Contimar and Zora and the operetta Die Geisterbeschwerung . He went to Vienna in 1793 - with a grant from the Count - to take further lessons from Antonio Salieri and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger . In 1795 he made the acquaintance of Ludwig van Beethoven , who studied with the same musicians. That year he introduced himself with the oratorio Gioas re di Giuda . In the same concert, Beethoven made his first public appearance in Vienna as a piano player and composer. Cartellieri's growing reputation as a composer earned him a job in 1796 with Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian von Lobkowitz at Raudnitz Castle and Eisenberg Castle (Jezeří) near Komotau in western Bohemia with economic security and social prestige. On May 9, 1803, he married Franziska Kraft, the daughter of cellist Anton Kraft , born in 1784 in the Augustinian Church in Vienna ; the couple had three sons. One of the sons was the Franzensbad spa doctor Paul Cartellieri .

Cartellieri remained on friendly terms with Beethoven until his untimely death.
