Christopher Jarvis Haley Hogwood CBE (10 September 1941 24 September 2014) was an English conductor, harpsichordist, and musicologist. Founder of the early music ensemble the Academy of Ancient Music, he was an authority on historically informed performance and a leading figure in the early music revival of the late 20th century. Eva Badura-Skoda (née Halfar; 15 January 1929 8 January 2021) was a German-born Austrian musicologist. In 1986 she was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Science and Art[3] by the Austrian government. Alfred Christlieb Kalischer (* March 4 , 1842 in Thorn ; October 8, 1909 in Berlin ) was a German writer, music critic, editor and musicologist. Kalischer has distinguished himself particularly with publications on Ludwig van Beethoven , including the first critical edition of his letters. Franz Gerhard Wegeler (22 August 1765 7 May 1848) was a German physician from Bonn, who, in his youth, was a close friend of composer Ludwig van Beethoven. In 1794, he fled Bonn during the French Revolutionary Wars, returning to Vienna, where he renewed his friendship with Beethoven. In 1802, he married Eleonore von Breuning, the daughter of Helene von Breuning. Eleonore was a former piano student and 'first love' of Beethoven. Wegeler was a Freemason; Beethoven corresponded with him on the subject of Beethoven's music (not masonic music) being used in lodge ceremonies. Beethoven offered to compose a better piece than he had heard was being used. A distinguished physician, Wegeler is remembered for his 1838 biography of Beethoven (Biographische Notizen über Ludwig van Beethoven), co-written with Beethoven's friend and pupil, composer Ferdinand Ries (17841838) and published eleven years after Beethoven's death. Historians consider these memoirs to be an important and reliable source of information regarding the early life of the great composer. According to this memoir, Wegeler and Beethoven first met when they were respectively aged 17 and 12, leading Andrew Crumey to suggest they were "brought together under Illuminist auspices perhaps some educational event or programme to foster local talent." Ferdinand Ries (baptised 28 November 1784 13 January 1838) was a German composer. Ries was a friend, pupil and secretary of Ludwig van Beethoven. He composed eight symphonies, a violin concerto, nine piano concertos (the first concerto is not published), three operas, and numerous other works, including 26 string quartets. In 1838 he published a collection of reminiscences of his teacher Beethoven, co-written with Beethoven's friend, Franz Wegeler. Ries' symphonies, some chamber worksmost of them with pianohis violin concerto and his piano concertos have been recorded, exhibiting a style which, given his connection to Beethoven, lies between the Classical and early Romantic styles. First U. K. Edition, presumed first printing.
