Uber.German family of musicians. As well as those discussed below, Georg Friedrich Uber (fl c1750), organist at the Protestant church of Haynau, Silesia, and Christian Gottlieb Uber (fl c1757), organist at the Elftausend-Jungfrauenkirche in Breslau, may have been family members. (1) Christian Benjamin Uber (2) Christian Friedrich Hermann Uber (3) Alexander Uber FRITZ FELDMANN/LOTHAR HOFFMANN-ERBRECHT Uber (1) Christian Benjamin Uber(b Breslau [now Wrocław], 20 Sept 1746; d Breslau, 1812). Amateur musician. After studying law at the University of Halle, where he may have been a pupil of W.F. Bach, he entered the civil service in Breslau (1772) and advanced to become government advocate and judicial commissioner (1774). He was a virtuoso glass-harmonica player and presented amateur concerts twice weekly in his own home. As a composer he was considered a skilful and industrious dilettante; his works include a Singspiel as well as various vocal and chamber works. WORKS
Uber (2) Christian Friedrich Hermann Uber(b Breslau, 22 April 1781; d Dresden, 2 March 1822). Composer and conductor, son of (1) Christian Benjamin Uber. While studying law in Halle he came to the attention of D.G. Türk, who taught him composition; he deputized for Türk as conductor of the subscription concerts in 1801 performing among other works his own, Violin Concerto op.3 and cantata Das Grab. He was active in Breslau in 1803, and then in 1804 travelled with Prince A.-H. Radziwiłł to Berlin, where he entered the service of Prince Louis Ferdinand as a chamber musician. After serving briefly as a violinist in Brunswick, in 1808 he was appointed music director of the Kassel opera, where he produced several of his own works. He left in 1814 to become theatre Kapellmeister at Mainz, and in 1816 became director of the Seconda company in Dresden. After it was dissolved he worked briefly in Leipzig as a teacher and author, then returned to Dresden to become Kantor at the Kreuzschule in 1817 and music director of the Kreuzkirche soon afterwards. His oratorio Die letzten Worte des Erlösers was performed there on the day of his death. Only some of his works met with favourable critical reaction. WORKS
Uber (3) Alexander Uber(b Breslau, 1783; d Carolath, Silesia, 1824). Composer and cellist, son of (1) Christian Benjamin Uber. Unlike his brother, he remained primarily in Breslau, where he studied with J. Janetzek (violin), J. Jäger (cello) and J.I. Schnabel (theory), and befriended Weber. After touring from 1804 as a virtuoso cellist (to Strasbourg, Basle and elsewhere) he returned to Breslau, and in his later years was Kapellmeister to the Prince of Schönaich-Carolath. In 1816 the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (xviii, 690) described him as ‘a talent of true originality’. WORKSmost printed works published in Mainz or Offenbach
