More DescriptionA.F.C. Kollmann (1756-1829) was born in Germany and lived from 1782 at St James's Palace, London, where he was organist and schoolmaster of His Majesty's German Chapel. He was one of the most profound music theorists of his time, and a pioneer in introducing Bach's music to England. His most extensive effort to inform the public about developments in the whole field of music-from acoustics to concert performance, from musical patents to books about music-was The Quarterly Musical Register. The journal folded after its second number. Only seven copies of the first number and five of the second appear to be extant. This annotated edition reproduces in facsimile both numbers, and presents new information about Kollmann's life and works.
