EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elderly and distinguished visage of Daniel François Esprit Auber, a French composer of the Romantic era. Born on January 28, 1782, in Croissy-sur-Seine, Auber's prolific career spanned over seven decades, leaving an indelible mark on the world of classical music. The image, taken in the year 1861, depicts Auber in the twilight of his life. His white hair, meticulously styled, frames a face etched with the lines of wisdom and experience. His piercing blue eyes, still bright and alert, seem to convey a depth of knowledge and insight. Auber's attire is that of a refined gentleman of the time, with a neat necktie, a well-tailored coat, and a high collar. Auber was a versatile composer, excelling in various genres, including opera, ballet, and symphonic music. His most famous works include "Fra Diavolo," "La Muette de Portici," and "Masaniello." His operas were known for their innovative use of orchestration and harmonies, as well as their engaging stories and memorable characters. Despite his many accomplishments, Auber's life was not without tragedy. He lost his first wife and two of his children at a young age. However, he remained dedicated to his craft, continuing to compose and conduct well into his later years. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Auber's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in French music. It invites us to reflect on the rich history of classical music and the remarkable individuals who have shaped it over the centuries.
