André-Frédéric Eler, born in the Alsace, came 1764 to Paris already within young years. About his youth and his musical education nothing is known. His compositional skills seem to have had fast successes. 1794 he becomes a member of the jury in the institute National de Musique (the later Conservatoire de Musique). He becomes the librarian of this institute, an activity which he performs from 1795 to 1797. 1798 was assigned to him a class for company. afterwards préparation vocale and solfège (1800). Then he got the professur in contra point and fugue. He could not perform these for a long time, Eler died in Paris on April 21st, 1821. After the death his widow got an honour pension in recognition of the merits of her husband. The concert on hand, No 1, for horn appeared at 1796 in the pressure at Naderman (later Imbault) in Paris. The title records: Ce Concerto at été exécuté plusieurs fois aux Concerts de of La Rue Feydeaux par Le Cit each. Frédéric Duvernois [sic]. The successful young hornist Frederic Duvernoy seems to have inspired Eler, having asked and advised Eler perhaps also around this concert.
