"Weber, are you really a famous man?", the director of the Dresden court theatre Wolf Adolf August von Lüttichau is said to have asked his Kapellmeister Weber when he realised that he was being enthusiastically celebrated in Berlin. Weber had to overcome many obstacles in his life before this could happen. Did he always "persistently" pursue his goal during this time - as he put it in the statutes of the "Harmonischer Verein" - or did he sometimes go astray?
Let us accompany the composer on his life's journey with the help of his son Max's vivid descriptions and the latest findings from the biography of Weber written by Christoph Schwandt.
