FROM ROME: From December 2009 until March 2023, the late Giuseppe Pennisi sent us regular reports from the Italian opera and classical music scene.
German composer, choir leader, flautist and organist August Eberhard Müller was born in Northeim in Lower Saxony on 13 December 1767, and studied with his organist father and then with Johnann Christoph Friedrich Bach.
He was organist at St Nicholas Church in Leipzig and was later Thomaskantor and then Kapellmeister at the Weimar ducal court.
Müller wrote much piano and flute music. He died in Weimar on 3 December 1817, aged forty-nine.
