Bernhard Heinrich Romberg was a German cellist and composer, born into a musical family on 12 November 1767 in the northern German town of Dinklage. He received his first cello lessons from his father and from the cellist Johann Konrad Schlick in MĂŒnster, and lessons in composition from Christian Gottlob Neefe. His early career ran alongside that of his cousin Andreas, who was just a few months older. A cellist who shared his first years of concert life with a cousin of nearly the same age can be read as a career that began as a partnership rather than a solo climb. The cousins traveled together throughout Europe on concert tours, which also took them to Austria, where Romberg met Joseph Haydn and dedicated his Quartet op. 1 to him. After they were engaged together at the MĂŒnster court, they moved in 1790 to the court in Bonn, where they came to know famous musicians including Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Anton Ries; the four played together as a quartet. A quartet that included Beethoven can be read as a young cellist learning among well-known musicians. Following another concert tour, he stayed on in Paris in 1799 without his cousin and taught at the conservatory until 1802, after which he joined the Royal Orchestra in Berlin. A teaching post in Paris followed by a seat in a royal orchestra can be read as a cellist whose teaching and playing fed each other, as his later method suggests. After the unexpected death of Queen Luise of Prussia, he composed the Trauersymphonie op. 23 in her honor; its autograph manuscript is preserved in the SĂ€chsisches Staatsarchiv Leipzig. A cellist writing a symphony in honor of a queen can be read as a performer reaching for a larger form than the instrument he played. In 1840 he published his first cello method, which detailed his virtuosic playing technique, and the book is still used to this day in cello lessons. The Sofia Philharmonic says that Romberg made several innovations in cello design and performance, lengthening the celloâs fingerboard and flattening the side under the C string, giving it more freedom to vibrate. A method still used in lessons and changes to the instrument itself can be read as work whose effects continue beyond his own playing.
