Biography

Carl Wilhelm Glösch (1732–1809) was a Berlin-based German composer and court musician of the late eighteenth century. Active in the city’s Prussian musical circles, he is documented as serving members of the royal family and publishing chamber music in Berlin, including his Six Trios, Op. 1. Glösch’s name also surfaces in specialist flute repertory, where modern scholarship has identified works transmitted in pedagogical and manuscript sources under his authorship after earlier misattributions. Today he is chiefly known through this small but distinctive footprint in the flute-centred chamber music of Frederick the Great’s Berlin.
