About

There was no composer whose works were more frequently passed off as Mozart’s than Eberl. Even more surprising is the documented fact that there was no protest from Mozart against the use of his name on Eberl’s compositions. Eberl, a friend and (probably) a student of the great man, did mind but was too timid to take action until after Mozart had died.

Finally, he published a notice in a widely read German newspaper claiming ownership of a number of his compositions attributed to Mozart. Despite this, his works still continued to be published under Mozart’s name.

This in itself is a telling indication as to the contemporary opinion of the quality of Eberl’s works, but critical reviews of his day also spoke of works published under his own name reaching the heights of Haydn’s, Mozart’s and the young Beethoven’s.

Performed by John Khouri on Pfister Grand Fortepiano and on an 18th century Pedal Piano.
