THOUGHT OF THE DAY:
”Do not concern yourselves with the mentality of the low. That will only bring you down to their level, where they will defeat you with experience. Instead, fixate your mind and calibrate your frequency to that which is above and you will rise”
— Hotep Jesus

“Bernhard Christian Weber is not a well-known or widely recognized figure in the history of German music composition. However, there might be confusion or overlap with other composers with similar names. Here’s what can be gathered from the provided web results:
Bernhard Anselm Weber (1764–1821) shares a similar name and was indeed a German composer, pianist, and conductor:
Background: Born in Mannheim, Bernhard Anselm Weber began his musical education with Vogler for keyboard in 1773, later studied singing with Holzbauer, theory with Einberger, and returned to Vogler for composition in 1775. He also studied theology and law at the University of Heidelberg.
Career:
He was the music director of Grossmann’s opera troupe in Hannover in 1787, toured with the troupe in Holland, Germany, and Scandinavia. After spending time in Stockholm, he performed in Hamburg.
In 1792, he was named joint music director with Bernhard Wessely of Berlin’s Nationaltheater, became the first music director in 1796, and was elevated to Kapellmeister in 1803.
He was known for championing the music of Gluck and for his contributions to the stage music, especially his incidental music for Schiller’s drama “Wilhelm Tell” in 1804.
Compositions: While only a few songs from his stage works retained popularity, his incidental music was admired for a long time. He was prolific, but not much of his work remains famous today.
Sources:
Primary sources for information on Bernhard Anselm Weber would likely include historical records from the theaters he worked with, like the Nationaltheater in Berlin, and musicological studies focusing on German composers of his era. The “Baker’s Biographical Dictionary of Musicians” is mentioned as a source for information on him.”
