Biography
Born in Versailles, the son of a German regimental musician, Étienne-François Gebauer was the brother of Michel-Joseph Gebauer, François-René Gebauer, Pierre-Paul Gebauer and Jean-Luc Gebauer, all musicians and composers.
He began his musical studies under the direction of his elder brother Michel-Joseph Gebauer and then received a formation to flute from Antoine Hugot. He entered the orchestra of the Opera-Comique in 1801 as second flute, then became first flute in 1813, but retired in 1822 for health reasons. He died in Paris a few months later.
As a composer, he wrote many works, especially for his instrument, the flute.
