Life
Spohr was born in Braunschweig, Germany, to Karl Heinrich Spohr and Juliane Luise Henke, but the family migrated to Seesen in 1786. Spohr's first musical inspiration came from his parents: his mother was a natural performer and pianist, and his father played the flute. Dufour, a violinist, gave him his first violin lessons. The pupil's first attempts at composition date back to the 1790s. Dufour, who was aware of the boy's musical abilities, begged him to return to Brunswick for further instruction.
Duke Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand of Brunswick requested for financial assistance after the failure of his first concert tour, which was a poorly planned trip to Hamburg in 1799. The duke so much that he hired the 15-year-old Spohr as a chamber musician after a fruitful performance at the court. He became Franz Eck's pupil and accompanied him on a concert tour that took him as far as Saint Petersburg in 1802. Eck, who completely retrained Spohr in violin technique, was a product of the Mannheim academy, and Spohr became the Mannheim company's most popular heir. Spohr's first significant works, including his Violin Concerto No. 1, were among his first works of art. 1, date back to this date. The Duke granted him leave to North Germany after his return home. The influential music critic Friedrich Rochlitz "to his knees" after a concert in Leipzig in December 1804, not only because of Spohr's appearance but also because of his compositions. In the entire German-speaking world, this performance brought the young man to worldwide prominence overnight.
Spohr gained a position as concertmaster at the court of Gotha, where he stayed until 1812. Dorette Scheidler, the 18-year-old harpist and pianist of one of the court singers, was present on the courthouse. They were married on February 2nd, 1896, and lived happily until Dorette's death 28 years later. They performed well together as a violin and harp pair (Spohr composed the Sonata in C minor for violin and harp for her) in Italy (1816-1820), Paris (1821), but Dorette later stopped harpist work and concentrated on raising their children.
Spohr played with Beethoven at the latter's house in 1808, Op. 30. No. 70 was a 77-year-old boy. The Ghost in the First Novel. The piano was out of tune, and Beethoven's playing was either brutal or careless, according to Spohr. Spohr held a concert in the Predigerkirche of the French-controlled Principality of Erfurt in 1812 to celebrate Napoleon's 43rd birthday. Spohr continued to perform at Wien's Theater an der Wien (1813-1815), where he was on friendly terms with Beethoven; afterwards, he was opera director at Frankfurt (1817-1819), where he was able to stage his own operas, the first of which, Faust, was rejected in Vienna. Spohr's longest period of service, from 1822 to his death in Kassel, was as the conductor of Hesse's court of Kassel, a position he accepted on the suggestion of Carl Maria von Weber. He married Marianne Pfeiffer, 29, in Kassel on January 3rd, 1836. She lived until 1892, and she lived with him for many years.
In 1851, the elector refused to sign Spohr's two months of leave of absence, to which he was entitled under his employment, and after the musician left without a ticket, a portion of his salary was deducted. He was pensioned off, much against his own initiative, and he broke his arm in the winter of the same year, putting an end to his violin playing. Nevertheless, he conducted his opera Jessonda at the Prague Conservatorium's fiftieth anniversary in the following year. He died at Kassel in 1859.
Spohr was a devoted Freemason like Haydn, Mozart, and Hummel's own marginally older contemporary Hummel. He served as a violinist and had about 200 students over his career, many of whom were well-known musicians. Henry Blagrove and Henry Holmes, two violinists, were among his notable pupils.
