Antoine ne Crux,
Heinrich (Henri) 1768-1809 Germany, Mannheim - Munchen
singer, violinist, 1778-1809 residing in Munchen, studied music with Peter Winter and 2 years at the school of
Leopold Mozart in Salzburg, 1786 in service of the elector of Trier at the Koblenz court,
where he left to travel France and The Netherlands, c1788 in service of count
Bentheim in Steinfurt, 1791 violinist at the Hofkapelle Munchen
son of dancer/violinist Johann Peter Antoine Crux and
his first wife Johanna Antonia Crux nee Habert (died 1774) and stepson of his second wife
actress Franciska Antoine nee Amberger (Mannheim
15.nov.1750-20.jan.1825 Munchen) ; brother of
oboist and collector royal lottery in Munchen 1812 Ernst (Ernest) Antoine (Mannheim 1770-) and of violinist/singer/pianist Maria Anna Antonia 'Marianne' Crux (Mannheim
21.nov.1772 - nothing heard of after 1807 and after her second marriage to a
Holstein nobleman (according to Gerber) or to the swedish engineering officer
Gelbert) ; 1789 he married soprano Johanna
Fontaine (Munster 20.may.1770-1797 Mainz)
the family moved from Mannheim to Munchen in 1778 when Peter Crux was
appointed Hof-Ballettmeister, a post he held until 1821, which seems unlikely at an age of
over 70, it should
possibly read 1811 because Fetis says Peter doesn't know the whereabouts of
Marianne in 1811, a topic typically related to pensioning
