Jean Louis Gobbaerts
Jean Louis Gobbaerts (28 September 1835 – 5 May 1886) was a noted Belgian Romantic era concert pianist, piano teacher, and composer. Popular and successful in his own day, Gobbaerts published over 1200 piano compositions.[1]
Life
Gobbaerts was born in Antwerp. He was a pupil of the Bruls Conservatory. He spent much of his career working as a pianist and a piano teacher in Brussels.[2] He died at the age of 50 in Saint-Gilles, near Brussels.[3]
Gobbaerts published his piano compositions using the nom de plume Streabbog (Gobbaerts spelled backwards), sometimes also using the names Ludovic or Levi instead of Louis. No longer famous as a concert pianist today, he is now best known as the composer Streabbog.
