German flautist and composer. Son of Caspar Fürstenau (1772-1819), he
received his first flute lessons from his father. He was highly gifted,
performing publicly for the first time at the age of seven. In 1804, he
joined the Oldenburg court orchestra. He later embarked on extensive
concert tours throughout Germany and Europe (including Berlin, Munich,
Copenhagen, St. Petersburg, and Vienna) in the company of his father.
Partly owing to his wish to settle down and partly on account of his
father's poor health, he accepted an appointment to the Frankfurt town
orchestra in 1817; there Johannes Vollweiler gave him further lessons in
composition. The year after his father's death he moved to Dresden,
where he became first flautist under Carl Maria von Weber's direction.
As a composer, he wrote and arranged numerous works, mainly for the
flute. He created new and characteristic literature for his instrument
through his 147 published works, including twelve solo concertos,
variations, and chamber compositions. His influence extended through his
extensive teaching, with his son Moritz Fürstenau (1824-1889) being one
of his numerous students. He was considered the most important Romantic
flautist and the most famous virtuoso on his instrument in Germany
during the first half of the nineteenth century.
