About Ernst von Gemmingen
- Ernst von Gemmingen (11 February 1759 - 3 March 1813) was a German composer and aristocrat.
- Born in Celle, von Gemmingen attended the University of Göttingen.
- He was not a professional composer but was evidently a highly proficient musician.
- He collected the works of Mozart and Haydn, including a number of first editions.
- In or around 1800 he composed four concertos for violin and orchestra, his only major extant compositions, the autograph copies of which were discovered in Hornberg Castle, his family's seat, in 1993.
- The existence of separate orchestral parts for three of the concertos suggests that they were performed in public.
