Eckert was orphaned at an early age.  The poet E. Forster spotted his potential and paid for his study under Richenberg, Greulich,and later for violin with Botticher and H. Ries and composition with Rungenhagen.  From his teens he studied with Mendelssohn.  He was considered a child prodigy but later in life failed to fulfill his early potential.  He later studied in Italy at the expense of the King of Prussia.  In 1851-2 he acompanied Henriette Sontag on her tour of the US.  He spent periods conducting in Paris, Vienna, Stutgart and Berlin.
