was born in Strasbourg on April 18th, 1759 and died in Paris in April 1823. As a pupil of F.X. Richter and Dumonchau (cello) it came 1783 to Paris as teachers, composer and freelance musician. A regular publication of its compositions is provable as of 1790. Widerkehr attained primarily fame as a composer for instrumental music, particularly its symphony concertantes for wind instruments were very praised.
Trios for Flute, Horn and Bassoon
These trios for flute, horn and bassoon were composed about 1820, published for the first time in Paris by Boieldieu jeunne. The style and development of the composition can be compared with the famous wood wind quintets of Anton Reicha (1770-1836), which were also published in Paris about that time.
