Willem Ten Have was born 12 August, 1831 in Amsterdam, Holland to Francois Ten
Have and Anna Cornelia Veelwaard, the youngest of 6 children.
He was a student of Charles De Bériot, becoming a famous violinist in
Europe. (Ten Have later bought two violins from De Bériot, one being the famous
Guarnari del Jesu De Bériot 1744, now owned by Ruggiero Ricci.)

Ten Have moved to France, teaching at the University in Lyon, where he married
Jeanne Roger in 1868. They had one son and one daughter, both of whom became
musicians. Sometime later, Willem gave up his teaching position, moving to
Paris.

He composed at least 40 works for the violin. The last that Gloria could find
mentioned is a Serenade op.40 for full Orchestra dated 1922.The Allegro
Brilliant, dedicated to his son, Jean is probably his most well-known piece.
In 1924, Willem Ten Have died of pneumonia at the age of 93.

There is a high resolution photograph from the University of Frankfurt Library
in the University of Frankfurt Archive.
