RIEMANN, KARL WILHELM JULIUS HUGO. - Musicologist, b. at Gross Mehlra on 18 July 1849, d. at Leipzig on 10 July 1919.
He studied at Berlin, Tübingen and Leipzig; he taught at Bamberg (1880-81), at Hamburg (1882-90), at Sonderhausen and Wiesbaden (1892-93), then at Leipzig from 1901, where he was director of the «Collegium musicum» from 1908.
Through his multifaceted activity as a scholar and researcher, as a historian and philologist, he founded what the Germans call «Musikwissenschaft», that is, «musical science». His little volume Grundriss der Musikwissenschaft, published in 1908, bears witness to this. Among his most important publications, mention should be made of: Handbuch d. Harmonielehre (Leipzig 1887), Geschichte d. Musiktheorie in 9.-10. Jahr. (ibid. 1898), Handbuch d. Musikgeschichte (4 vols., ibid. 1901-13), etc., to which should be added the famous Musiklexikon of 1882, updated down to 1929 (2 vols., 11th ed.) by A. Einstein, Berlin 1929.
