Ernst Naumann studied the organ with (1789–1864) and composition with Moritz Hauptmann and Ernst Richter.〔 He published a treatise, ''Über die verschiedenen Bestimmungen der Tonverhältnisse und die Bedeutung des pythagoräischen oder reinen Quinten-Systems für unsere heutige Musik'' (The Various Definitions of Pitch Proportions and the Meaning of the Pythagorean Perfect Fifths System for Music Today) (Leipzig, 1858). From 1860 until his death 50 years later he was organist and kapellmeister in Jena; from 1877 professor.〔 He made arrangements of the music of Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schumann, and published editions of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi.
