Recenzii
‘Michael Kassler, member of a family responsible for important work on English music […] has now made another encyclopedic contribution, with a name-index itself of over 20 pages. The thoroughness speaks for many years' patient research, and it is a pleasure to see so much gathered together. …Kassler can pack an enormous amount of detail into a few dozen pages. …Over a third of this generous book is a welcome facsimile reprint of Kollmann's shortlived journal The Quarterly Musical Register (1812)…’ Musical Times
‘Kassler's new book on Kollmann is of interest and importance because it fills significant gaps in the area of music theory and Bach reception in the transitional period at the dawn of the nineteenth century. …[Kassler's] remarkably thorough biographical research sheds light on an important figure in nineteenth-century English music, and adds texture and colour to this small part of music history.’ British Institute of Organ Studies Journal
‘This review is only able to give a sample of the plethora of details in Kassler's book and its value to music historians and historians of music theory. The readership will also include general cultural historians, scholars of women studies, historians of eighteenth-century industry and machinery, and scholars of Australian music history. … that the book also includes an annotated edition of the first musical journal published in England, and a detailed list of sources related to Kollmann gives cause for recommending it as reading for every music historian…’ Musicology Australia

Descriere
A.F.C. Kollmann (1756-1829) was born in Germany and moved to London in 1782, 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 was The Quarterly Musical Register”the first number of which is dated 1 January 1812. The journal folded after its second number. Only eight copies of the first number and six of the second appear to be extant. This book reproduces in facsimile both numbers, and presents new information about Kollmann's life and works.
