Book Description Ludwig, Ritter von Köchel is best known for his work on Mozart's compositions. This book, the first-ever biography of Köchel introduces the self-taught "dilettante" musicologist to the wider musical community. A former tutor to the aristocracy and knight of the Austrian Empire, Köchel set out in 1851 to locate, collate, authenticate and place in chronological order all of Mozart's existing compositions. "The Köchel Register", the result of eleven years of research and compilation, became the backbone of Mozart scholarship. He similarly assembled works by another noted Austrian composers and lectured extensively on music and other subjects. This work traces Köchel's life and professional career. It aims to introduce the general music lover to Köchel and to demonstrate that his achievements in musicology and other fields are worthy of recognition, with or without his extensive Mozart collection. | ||
