Ritter Gluck

Ritter Gluck is a 1809 short story by E. T. A. Hoffmann. It was the first short story Hoffmann published when it appeared in the 15 February 1809 edition of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung.[1] Ritter Gluck was later republished in 1814 in Hoffmann's Fantasiestücke in Callots Manier.[2] The story features German composer Christoph Willibald Gluck as a ghostly figure; the story is set in 1809, and Gluck died in 1787.
