Loewe, (Johann) Karl Gottfried, also Karl Löwe 1796-1869
German composer
Born near Halle, he studied music and theology there, and in 1822 became a music teacher at Stettin. In 1847 he sang and played before the court of Queen Victoria in London. He composed operas (of which only one, The Three Wishes, was performed), oratorios, symphonies, concertos, duets, and other works for piano, but his ballads, including the Erlkönig (1818, 'The Erl-King') are his most impressive achievements. He published his autobiography in 1870.
