The Three Ebert Sisters: Wilhelmine Tomaschek, Juliane Glaser and Elisabeth Hansgirg
Original language description
The names of these three women appear in various music-historical texts: Wilhelmine Tomaschek, Juliane Glaser and Elisabeth Hansgirg. They are in fact three sisters - daughters of Michael Ebert (1768-1829), Landgrave, resident of Fürstenberg in Bohemia and court councillor. Their brother Carl Egon Ebert (1801-1882) was a famous poet. The most famous of this trio of women was Julia (1806-1890), who in 1836 married Rudolf Glaser (1801-1868), who founded and edited the journal Ost und West and was librarian of the university library in Prague. Julia was a good singer - she performed not only at home concerts with her brother-in-law, the composer Wenzel Johann Tomaschek (1774-1850), but also at public concerts at the Sophien Academy in Prague. She published her own poems and translated Czech poems into German. Some of her correspondence has survived - among others with Wenzel Johann Tomaschek. Julia's sister Wilhelmine (1797-1836) married Tomaschek in 1824. She was also an excellent singer and is said to have been a good hostess at Tomaschek's house concerts. Very little is known about Elisabeth - in 1822 she married the district commissioner Joseph Hansgirg (her son was the famous poet Karl Viktor Hansgirg). Her brother-in-law Tomaschek dedicated to her the composition Das Gebet des Herrn in Liedern Op. 76 for solo voice, choir and piano (a setting of the Our Father prayer by Johann August Zimmermann, composed in the 1820s). When her husband was governor of Jičín (in eastern Bohemia) in the 1830s and 1840s, a distinguished company met weekly in the Hansgirg's apartment. Unfortunately, it is not known whether music was also played at these meetings. It seems that Wilhelmine and Elisabeth were primarily wives and housewives - the question remains whether they also had higher intellectual, social and artistic ambitions.
