Ernst Ludwig Gerber worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Ernst Ludwig Gerber as German composer (1746-1819).
Ernst Ludwig Gerber was born at Sondershausen in 1746. His recorded nationality is Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as composer, musicologist and cellist.
The instruments recorded are organ.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Ernst Ludwig Gerber died in 1819, aged 73. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
