Il est le fils du juriste et musicien amateur Christian Benjamin Uber (1746\u20131812) et le fr\u00e8re cadet de Christian Friedrich Hermann Uber (1781\u20131822), qui deviendra lui-m\u00eame compositeur et Kapellmeister (chef d\u2019orchestre\/ma\u00eetre de chapelle).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexandre Uber baigne d\u00e8s l\u2019enfance dans les hautes sph\u00e8res du milieu de la musique de la r\u00e9gion.

En effet, les archives et t\u00e9moignages conserv\u00e9s permettent de dresser un mince inventaire des musiciens contemporains \u00e0 Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte qui utilis\u00e8rent de source s\u00fbre l\u2019un de ses archets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parmi eux, il faut bien \u00e9videmment citer Viotti qui, d\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e \u00e0 Paris en 1782, collabora avec Nicolas-L\u00e9onard et Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte. Ses \u00e9l\u00e8ves et disciples Pierre Rode, Pierre Baillot et Rodolphe Kreutzer, piliers de l\u2019\u00e9cole fran\u00e7aise du violon et co-auteurs de la <em>M\u00e9thode officielle du Conservatoire<\/em>, adopt\u00e8rent rapidement le nouvel archet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C\u00f4t\u00e9 violoncelle, Jean-Louis Duport, collaborateur de Viotti et de Beethoven, utilisa des archets Tourte d\u00e8s son installation \u00e0 Berlin. La c\u00e9l\u00e8bre peinture de R\u00e9mi-Fursy Descarsin permet de constater qu\u2019il jouait avec un archet \u00e0 hausse ouverte en 1788. Son cadet Bernhard Romberg, virtuose adul\u00e9, acquit au moins deux archets directement \u00e0 Paris, certainement vers 1815-1820, aujourd\u2019hui connus comme les \u201cex-Romberg\u201d<a id=\"_ftnref1\" href=\"#_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.

Comme nous l\u2019avons d\u00e9j\u00e0 mentionn\u00e9, Uber a notamment v\u00e9cu \u00e0 Breslau et Carolath.

Si Uber fut le ma\u00eetre de chapelle de J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte, il \u00e9tait alors au c\u0153ur d\u2019une cour directement li\u00e9e \u00e0 la France.

Le fr\u00e8re d\u2019Alexander, Friedrich Christian Hermann Uber, fut Kapellmeister de l\u2019op\u00e9ra de Cassel sous J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte. En outre, il composa plusieurs \u0153uvres en langue fran\u00e7aise, comme <em>Les marins<\/em>, attestant de la familiarit\u00e9 de la famille Uber avec la culture francophone.

La premi\u00e8re consiste en une commande directe \u00e0 Paris, o\u00f9 Tourte est \u00e9tabli quai de l\u2019Ecole depuis 1806. Cette hypoth\u00e8se est tr\u00e8s plausible compte tenu des \u00e9changes d\u2019Uber avec la France, de part sa famille et son activit\u00e9. La deuxi\u00e8me hypoth\u00e8se supposerait un interm\u00e9diaire. Il pourrait s\u2019agir d\u2019un musicien ayant d\u00e9j\u00e0 un instrument de Tourte. L\u2019exemple de Spohr, conduit par Franz Eck \u00e0 acheter un Tourte d\u00e8s 1803, puis devenu promoteur du nouvel instrument, montre \u00e0 quel point le mod\u00e8le circulait aussi hors de Paris. L\u2019interm\u00e9diaire pourrait \u00e9galement \u00eatre l\u2019un des princes pour lesquels Alexandre Uber a travaill\u00e9. En effet, la nomination d\u2019Uber comme Kapellmeister au service de diff\u00e9rentes personnalit\u00e9s majeures de l\u2019\u00e9poque suppose des budgets d\u2019apparat et des achats \u201cde maison\u201d. Les \u00e9lites maintenaient des liens diplomatiques et mondains avec Paris et, dans ce cadre, l\u2019hypoth\u00e8se d\u2019un archet d\u2019exception acquis pour le ma\u00eetre de chapelle n\u2019est pas invraisemblable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LE REGARD DES EXPERTS SYLVAIN BIGOT ET YANNICK LE CANU<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Cet archet de violoncelle de Fran\u00e7ois Xavier Tourte, r\u00e9alis\u00e9 vers 1815-20, est un mod\u00e8le \u00e0 t\u00eate dite \u201cviolon\u201d en raison de ses proportions. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Il pr\u00e9sente une baguette octogonale, une plaque de t\u00eate en argent et la hausse en \u00e9b\u00e8ne \u00e0 oeil Parisien, tr\u00e8s appr\u00e9ci\u00e9es de l\u2019auteur \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque, qui marque le d\u00e9but de sa p\u00e9riode d\u2019or.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-35 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-12-05-quatuor-3759-1-archet-violoncelle-tourte-francois-xavier-07-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"30259\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/2025-12-05-quatuor-3759-1-archet-violoncelle-tourte-francois-xavier-07-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Archet de violoncelle de Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier TOURTE, ayant appartenu \u00e0 Alexandre Uber -

Au sein de la famille Tourte, Fran\u00e7ois Xavier est le premier \u00e0 l\u2019adopter, ce qui laisse penser qu\u2019il en est probablement l\u2019initiateur \u00e0 Paris. Sa r\u00e9alisation n\u00e9cessite des outils plus rudimentaires que chez d\u2019autres archetiers ( perce simple), ce qui confirmerait sa pr\u00e9cocit\u00e9 : cercle m\u00e9tallique \u00e9pais, soudure caract\u00e9ristique par sa largeur. L\u2019absence de perce \u00e0 cercle l\u2019am\u00e8ne \u00e0 rapporter de l\u2019\u00e9b\u00e8ne et \u00e0 travailler celui-ci en bois de bout pour en faciliter la d\u00e9coupe. Les photographies montrent clairement une similitude de d\u00e9coupe entre l\u2019arri\u00e8re du bouton et l\u2019\u0153il parisien.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Pour ajuster le passant sur la hausse, le bec \u00e9tait d\u2019abord \u00e9bauch\u00e9 au canif, puis le rond \u00e9tait achev\u00e9 \u00e0 la lime, comme en t\u00e9moignent les traces encore bien visibles sur la photo de gauche. On retrouve cette mani\u00e8re de faire \u00e9galement chez Dominique Peccatte, ainsi que chez certains archets de Pierre Simon et de Joseph Henry. Sur la photo de droite, le canal de crin appara\u00eet plus large que les rives de recouvrement, ce qui correspond \u00e0 la logique de l\u2019\u00e9poque : dans la transition entre les hausses classiques et modernes, la faible profondeur du canal n\u00e9cessitait un \u00e9largissement afin d\u2019accueillir le crin sans exercer de contrainte excessive sur le recouvrement, chez Fran\u00e7ois Xavier, ce d\u00e9tail est beaucoup plus marqu\u00e9 que chez ses contemporains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped

Karl Alexander Benjamin Uber was part of the France \/ Silesia \/ Prussia network that brought the Tourte bow to prominence throughout the German-speaking world. The places he regularly visited \u2013 Breslau, Kassel and Carolath \u2013 were also those visited by Rodolphe Kreutzer, Bernhard Romberg and Louis Spohr, all of whom were known to play on Tourte bows.

He was the son of the lawyer and amateur musician Christian Benjamin Uber (1746 \u2013 1812) and the younger brother of Christian Friedrich Hermann Uber (1781 \u2013 1822), who himself became a composer and <em>Kapellmeister<\/em> (conductor \/ choirmaster).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alexander Uber was immersed in the upper circles of the local music scene from an early age. His father held two concerts a week at their home \u2013 one dedicated to symphonies, the other to chamber music [1]. These private <em>soir\u00e9es<\/em> attracted talented musicians, such as Carl Maria von Weber, whose career had begun in Breslau, as well as the organist Friedrich Wilhelm Berner and the pianist Joseph Klingohr [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Alexander Uber studied the violin with Johann Janitzek (also spelt Janetzek or Jannizeck), and then switched to the cello, under the tuition of Johann Zacharias J\u00e4ger (senior). Finally, he took music theory courses given by the composer Joseph Schnabel [3]. Uber quickly established himself as a precocious and virtuoso cellist. In 1804, when he was only 21, he set off on his first concert tour of Germany and enjoyed great success, as reported in the press of the time [4].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Wilhelm Joseph von Wasielewski, <em>The Violoncello and Its History<\/em>.

In particular, he wrote a <em>Cello Concerto in G major<\/em>, Op. 12, which he dedicated to his friend Carl Maria von Weber, <em>Variations for Cello with Orchestra<\/em>, overtures for orchestra, various <em>lieder<\/em> (melodies for voice and piano) and several chamber music pieces. His works include an <em>Original Septet<\/em> (for clarinet, horn, violin, two violas and two cellos) [1], <em>Six Caprices for Cello, Op. 10<\/em>, and his <em>Sixteen Variations on a German Air for Cello<\/em> [2]. He also arranged or transcribed several works by other composers, including pieces by Mozart and Beethoven for piano or ensemble, as evidenced by published editions and correspondence with Schott Music. The archives of this iconic publishing house contain seven letters from Alexander Uber, now held at the <em>Staatsbibliothek<\/em> in Berlin, written between 1812 and 1826, regarding the publication of his works [3] \u2013 which constitutes evidence of his success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His most famous compositions were those for his favourite instrument, the cello. Generally speaking, Uber belongs to the generation of German musicians of the early 19th century who, following in the tradition of Bernhard Romberg and other virtuosos, contributed to the rise of the cello as a solo instrument in Central Europe [4].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> A.

He published in Mainz several collections of diverse pieces, sometimes for solo flute, sometimes with string accompaniment, and sometimes even with guitar or piano [1]. This diversity was in response to salon practices, and contributed to his reputation, as evidenced by the dedications on his scores. In addition to Weber\u2019s, a dedication to Count Max d&#8217;Hazfeld, canon capitular of Regensburg Cathedral and intendant of music at the court of His Highness the Prince Primate, is preserved on a manuscript of variations (op. 15) [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, through his works and their intended audience, Alexandre Uber appears to have been a musician firmly rooted in the upper classes of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> See<a href=\"https:\/\/opac.rism.info\/rism\/Search\/Results?lookfor=alexandre%20uber&amp;searchCategories%5B0%5D=-1&amp;q=alexandre%20uber&amp;View=rism&amp;Language=en\">https:\/\/opac.rism.info\/rism\/Search\/Results?lookfor=alexandre%20uber&amp;searchCategories%5B0%5D=-1&amp;q=alexandre%20uber&amp;View=rism&amp;Language=en<\/a> et Tom Moore, <em>The Themes Vari\u00e9s pour Fl\u00fbte Seule, \u0153uvre 40-41 of A.

Indeed, the preserved archives and testimonies allow us to draw a short list of musicians who were contemporaries of Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte and are known, from reliable sources, to have played with one of his bows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among them, we must of course mention Viotti, who, upon his arrival in Paris in 1782, collaborated with Nicolas-L\u00e9onard and Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte. His students and followers, including Pierre Rode, Pierre Baillot and Rodolphe Kreutzer, the pillars of the French violin school and co-authors of the <em>Conservatoire&#8217;s Official Method<\/em>, quickly adopted the new bow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the cello front, Jean-Louis Duport, who worked with Viotti and Beethoven, played Tourte bows upon his arrival in Berlin. The famous painting by R\u00e9mi-Fursy Descarsin shows that he played an open-frog bow in 1788. His younger brother, Bernhard Romberg, a much-loved virtuoso, purchased at least two bows whilst in Paris, probably around 1815-1820, which are today known as the \u201cex-Romberg\u201d [1]. Romberg popularised this model in Berlin, and then throughout Europe, precisely at the time Uber was active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/tarisio.com\/cozio-archive\/cozio-carteggio\/the-ex-romberg-tourte-cello-bows\/\">https:\/\/tarisio.com\/cozio-archive\/cozio-carteggio\/the-ex-romberg-tourte-cello-bows\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-66 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"30204\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile-812x1024.png\" alt=\"Pierre Rode, par anonyme fran\u00e7ais - fin XIXe si\u00e8cle - huile sur toile - galerie Maurizio Nobile.\" class=\"wp-image-30204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile-812x1024.png 812w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile-768x968.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile-79x100.png 79w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-anonyme-francais-pierre-ode-fin-xixeme-galerie-maurizio-nobile.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pierre Rode, by anonymous French artist &#8211;

In 1803, Franz Eck requested that Spohr availed himself of a Tourte bow, and Spohr subsequently wrote in his <em>Violinschule<\/em> that Tourte bows were \u201cthe best and most sought-after\u201d. This trend was intensified by the geographical movement of musicians during the Napoleonic Wars, which disseminated both practices and instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The discovery of this Tourte bow, which belonged to Alexander Uber, is all the more interesting in this respect, as it constitutes another example of the spread of the Tourte bow in Prussia and Silesia through this close-knit network of musicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, there were strong connections between the aforementioned musicians and Alexander Uber. The geographical proximity and the similar repertoire of these musicians allow us to better place Alexander Uber within this network. As already mentioned, Uber lived in Breslau and Carolath. The example of Kreutzer is particularly interesting in this regard, as his family was from Breslau, like Uber&#8217;s, and he played a central role in the spread of the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Andrew Dipper, <em>Rostropovich\u2019s \u2018Duport\u2019 Strad Was the Beneficiary of New Ideas, Clients, and Materials, Strings Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn Breslau, which has always been one of the most musical cities in Germany, there were so many concerts at that time that there was one almost every day of the week. [\u2026] But in a city as musical as Breslau, even during this period of military unrest, there was no shortage of passionate music lovers, for whom music was a vital necessity. I was therefore frequently invited to private circles, where I had the opportunity to perform my Viennese compositions from the portfolio of Herr von Tost.\u201d [1]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Louis Spohr, one of the other great advocates of the Tourte bow, also performed in Breslau and Carolath in 1809 and 1815 [2]. In his memoirs, he tells us that the city staged many performances by the great virtuosos and amateurs of the time, and it is highly likely that he met Alexander Uber there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Bernhard Romberg also passed through Breslau, as evidenced by an annotated score signed \u201cBreslau 1 March 1816, Bernhard Romberg.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a id=\"_ftn1\" href=\"#_ftnref1\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Louis Spohr,.

In January 1817, he performed Romberg&#8217;s <em>Concerto in D major<\/em> in Leipzig, to enthusiastic acclaim from both the public and the press. In 1819, the same newspaper praised his interpretation of several of Romberg&#8217;s pieces, noting in particular the excellent sound of his bow. This is worth mentioning, as it is most likely the bow discussed here, as it dates precisely from around 1815-1820.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should also mention that there is a letter, now preserved at the University Library in Leipzig, from Alexander Uber to a musician at the Prussian court, which accompanies a copy of his own concerto in G minor and Romberg&#8217;s <em>Rondo en el gusto espa\u00f1ol<\/em>, which Romberg had just composed and which Alexander Uber already had in his possession [1].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This letter is also noteworthy for mentioning Reichardt, Uber&#8217;s director at the time. This is mostly likely Johann Friedrich Reichardt, who was then director of the Kassel theatre, after being appointed to the post by J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important, as it reinforces the idea that Alexander Uber worked at the court of J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte \u2013 as implied by the note \u201cAlexander Uber, Kapellmeister to the King of Westphalia [J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte]\u201d on the score preserved at the <em>Staatsbibliothek<\/em> in Berlin [2].

If Uber was indeed the Kapellmeister of J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte, he would have been at the heart of a court with direct links to France. Indeed, J\u00e9r\u00f4me, Napoleon&#8217;s brother, made several diplomatic trips to Paris, sometimes staying at his court, from where he could bring back prestigious objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Uber, as Kapellmeister, could have drawn on such a close relationship in order to obtain a bow from Tourte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reliable sources, the Uber family was Francophile. Alexander&#8217;s brother, Friedrich Christian Hermann Uber, was Kapellmeister of the Kassel Opera under J\u00e9r\u00f4me Bonaparte. Furthermore, he composed several works in French, such as <em>Les marins<\/em>, attesting to the Uber family&#8217;s familiarity with Francophone culture. This family&#8217;s closeness to France could explain the possible commissioning of a bow directly from Fran\u00e7ois-Xavier Tourte in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the publishing front, it\u2019s worth mentioning as well that some of Uber&#8217;s pieces were published in Paris by Richault, which would suggest that the composer spent time in Paris. Finally, let us note that in 1823, Alexander Uber was appointed Kapellmeister to Heinrich Karl Wilhelm IV, Prince of Carolath Beuthen and holder of the title of Reichsgraf von Sch\u00f6naich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the latter made diplomatic trips, particularly to Paris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-78 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-copie\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1548\" data-id=\"30238\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie.png\" alt=\"la visite imp\u00e9riale - op\u00e9ra de Paris - gravure.\" class=\"wp-image-30238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie.png 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie-198x300.png 198w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie-677x1024.png 677w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie-768x1161.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie-1016x1536.png 1016w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/37-la-visite-imperiale-opera-paris-gravure-Copie-66x100.png 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The imperial visit &#8211;

The first involves a direct order from Paris, where Tourte was working, on the Quai de l&#8217;Ecole, since 1806. This theory is very plausible given Uber&#8217;s exchanges with France, through his family and his work. The second theory would involve an intermediary. This could have been a musician who already owned a Tourte bow. The example of Spohr, who purchased a Tourte bow in 1803 on the express request of Franz Eck, and who then became an advocate of the new bow, shows the extent to which the model could be found outside of Paris. The intermediary could also have been one of the princes for whom Alexander Uber worked. Indeed, Uber&#8217;s position as Kapellmeister in the service of various major figures of the time would have come with ceremonial allowances and a budget for &#8220;household&#8221; purchases. The elite maintained diplomatic and social ties with Paris and, in this context, the idea of an exceptional bow having been acquired for the Kapellmeister is not unlikely.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE OPINION OF EXPERTS SYLVAIN BIGOT AND YANNICK LE CANU<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>This cello bow by Fran\u00e7ois Xavier Tourte, made around 1815-20, is an example with a so-called &#8220;violin&#8221;

the bow, probably to ensure overall strength.

Within the Tourte family, Fran\u00e7ois Xavier was the first to adopt it, which suggests that he was probably the first to use it in Paris. Its making required more rudimentary tools than those of other bow makers (simple bore), which would confirm its early dating: a thick metal circle, a weld typically wide. The absence of a circle bore led him to bring back ebony and work it into end grain to facilitate cutting. The photographs clearly show a similarity in the cut between the back of the button and the Parisian eye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To fit the ferrule on the frog, the beak was first roughed out with a penknife, and then rounded with a file, as evidenced by the file marks still clearly visible in the photo on the left. Evidence of this method can also be found in Dominique Peccatte&#8217;s work, as well as in certain bows by Pierre Simon and Joseph Henry. In the photo on the right, the hair channel appears wider than the overlapping edges, which is typical of the period: in the transition between classic and modern frogs, the shallow depth of the channel required widening to accommodate the horsehair without putting excessive stress on the slide. In Fran\u00e7ois Xavier&#8217;s work, this feature is much more pronounced than in his contemporaries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-87 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"385\" data-id=\"30301\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse-1024x385.png\" alt=\"D\u00e9tails de hausse.\" class=\"wp-image-30301\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse-1024x385.png 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse-300x113.png 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse-768x289.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse-100x38.png 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/17-Details-de-hausse.png 1387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">D\u00e9tails de hausse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"548\" data-id=\"30303\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse-1024x548.png\" alt=\"D\u00e9tails de hausse.\" class=\"wp-image-30303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse-1024x548.png 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse-768x411.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse-100x54.png 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/18-details-de-hausse.png 1302w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"496\" data-id=\"30309\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse-1024x496.png\" alt=\"D\u00e9tail de hausse.\" class=\"wp-image-30309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse-1024x496.png 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse-768x372.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse-100x48.png 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/21-detail-de-hausse.png 1346w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">D\u00e9tail de hausse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"259\" data-id=\"30311\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse-1024x259.png\" alt=\"D\u00e9tail de hausse.\" class=\"wp-image-30311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse-1024x259.png 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse-300x76.png 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse-768x194.png 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse-100x25.png 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/22-detail-de-hausse.png 1212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">D\u00e9tail de hausse.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Details of the round heel and slide<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As with the other metal elements, the large heel is thick.

A slight hollow at the front of the button ferrule was probably intended to improve the visual appearance of its fitting onto the stick.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>In the photo at the bottom right, a curved line can be seen, a remnant of the inner chamfer of the ferrule, intended to facilitate and improve the joint between the ebony and the silver. The end of the screw does not show any hammer marks, only small file marks from finishing. The screw was screwed into the button and not hammered in: the thread is clearly visible, with diamond-shaped traces of the tool used to hold it during insertion.
