French bassoonist and composer. He was a pupil of his brother Michel
Joseph Gebauer (1763-1812) and of François Devienne. In 1788 he became a
member of the band of the Swiss Guard in his native city. In 1790 he
settled in Paris as a musician in the National Guard. After playing in
theater orchestras, he joined the orchestra of the Opera about 1799,
remaining in it until 1826. He also played in the Imperial chapel
orchestra until 1830, and was a professor at the Conservatoire
(1795-1802; 1824-1838). According to some sources, he was made an
honorary professor in 1816. As a composer, his output include 13 bassoon
concertos, eight symphonies concertantes and several chamber music. He
also published a bassoon method (c.1820). His younger brothers, Pierre
Paul Gebauer (1775-?) and Etienne Jean François Gebauer (1776-1823) were
also musicians.
