Summary

Eberl, Anton (Franz Josef) (b. Vienna, 13 June 1765; d. Vienna, 11 Mar. 1807). Austrian pianist and composer. A child prodigy, Eberl gave private piano recitals at the age of eight; his first public recital in Vienna took place on 9 March 1784 and his first stage work, Die Marchande des Modes (1787), is said to have been praised by Gluck. It is sometimes claimed that Eberl was Mozart's pupil although there is no evidence to support this assertion. Beginning in 1788, some of Eberl's piano pieces began to appear under Mozart's name, including variations on Ignaz Umlauf's Zu Steffen sprach im Traume and a piano sonata in C minor. In the winter of 1795–6 he toured with Constanze Mozart and her sister Aloysia Lange, performing piano concertos and piano quartets, possibly by Mozart. He returned to Vienna in the early 1800s where for a while he was considered Beethoven's equal, especially as a composer of concertos and symphonies.

Eberlin, director of the Salzburg court music during Leopold Mozart's early tenure as a court violinist, had a life and career that is in some ways strikingly reminiscent of his younger compatriot's.
