Johann Ernst Eberlin
Johann Ernst Eberlin (born March 27, 1702 in Jettingen , Upper Austria ; † June 21, 1762 in the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg ) was a composer and organist .
Life
Eberlin received his schooling from 1712, especially his first musical training at the Jesuit College St. Salvator in Augsburg . He was taught music by Georg Egger and organ by Balthasar Siberer (1679–1757). From 1721 to 1723 Eberlin studied law at the Benedictine University of Salzburg. In 1723 he broke off this course without a degree.
In 1726 he entered the service of the Archbishop of Salzburg, Franz Anton von Harrach , as 4th grade organist . He reached the high point of his career when Archbishop Andreas Jakob von Dietrichstein appointed him court organist 1st class and court music director. As such, he was not only responsible for providing musical accompaniment to the liturgy in the cathedral, his participation in the table music was also obligatory.
He was also asked to compose and perform court concerts and theater pieces. Contemporaries were primarily Leopold Mozart , Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (whose teacher he was at times), Anton Cajetan Adlgasser , and Ignatz Anton von Weiser . Eberlin influenced many musicians just through his enormous compositional work.
In his work, Eberlin cleverly combined the traditions of the late baroque with new stylistic elements. He stood between Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber and Johann Michael Haydn artistically . In addition to trade fairs and offers, Eberlin also composed instrumental music and operas. He also took care of the musical arrangement of the school dramas at the Benedictine University in Salzburg.
