Abstract:

Consists of music transcriptions, notebooks, note cards, and other printed matter of German musicologist Ludwig Landshoff.

Ludwig Landshoff, German musicologist and conductor, studied music in Munich and Berlin, and received his Ph.D.

The collection consists of music transcriptions, notebooks, note cards, and other printed matter of Landshoff. The collection reflects the years (1918-1928) he spent as director and conductor of the Munich Bach Verein, a society for the performance of older music, and it includes transcriptions of his editions of music by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), Johann Christian Bach (1735-1782), Niccolo Jommielli (1714-1774), Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725), Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), and other German and Italian 18th- and 19th-century composers. Also included are notebooks and cards for a work on Vivaldi and his music, music programs covering performances of his wife, Philippine Landshoff, a soprano, and copies of printed music he either edited or conducted.
