Gustav Scharfe
Gustav Scharfe (11 September 1835 – 25 June 1892)[1] was a German operatic baritone and voice teacher.
Life
[edit | edit source]Born in Grimma, Saxony,[1] Scharfe was originally an assistant teacher (1854) at the Freiherrlich von Fletchersches Lehrerseminar and in 1856 at the Leipzig Institute for the Deaf and Dumb.[2] However, because of his outstanding musical and vocal talents, he took on a successful engagement as an opera singer at the Dresden Court Opera for several years.[1][3]
He later went to England and trained there for the higher demands of singing.[4] Returning to Dresden, he devoted himself very successfully to teaching singing, most recently at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber, Dresden (along, among others, Felix Draeseke, Aglaja Orgeni[5]). He was awarded the title Professor of Music by the King of Saxony for his services as a teacher in 1880.[1][6]
Scharfe published an excellent singing school: Die methodische Entwicklung der Stimme (The Methodical Development of the Voice).[1]
Scharfe died in Dresden, aged 56.[1]
