Charles Oberthür (composer)
Charles Oberthür (born as Carl Oberthür) (4 March 1819 – 8 November 1895) was a German harpist and composer active in Germany, Switzerland and England.
==Biography==
The son of a violin maker, Oberthür was born in Munich and studied the harp there with Elisa Brauchle and composition with Georg Valentin Röder (1776–1848), music director at the Bavarian court. He was successively employed at theatres in Zürich (1837), Wiesbaden (1839), and Mannheim (1842), before he settled in London in 1844, initially as harpist at the Royal Italian Opera House. In 1861, he became the first Professor of Harp at the Royal Academy of Music, London. He died in London in 1895.
Oberthür was the composer of over 450 works, most for or including the harp. He also published a useful harp method, his opus 36. His large-scale works have not been performed for many years and included the opera ''Floris de Namur'' (performed at Wiesbaden) and the cantatas ''The Pilgrim Queen'', ''The Red Cross Knight'', and ''Lady Jane Grey''. As a harpist, he became "unrivalled as a virtuoso and teacher".〔Stanley Sadie (ed.): ''The Grove Concise Dictionary of Music'' (London: Macmillan, 1988), p. 531.〕 A contemporary source described him as "the leading harpist in Britain, and on the Continent he is held in the highest esteem."〔James Duff Brown: ''Biographical Dictionary of Musicians'' (Paisley and London: Alexander Gardner, 1886; reprint Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1970), p. 449.〕
