Karl Franz Friedrich Chrysander (July 8, 1826 – September 3, 1901) was a German music historian, critic and publisher, whose edition of the works of George Frideric Handel and authoritative writings on many other composers established him as a pioneer of 19th-century musicology. ==Biography== Born at Lübtheen, in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Chrysander was the son of a miller. He earned a Doctorate in Philosophy from the University of Rostock in 1853. He then focused his studies on music, and in an obituary for Chrysander in October 1901, the ''Musical Times'' said of him that :"From the beginning he assumed the role of an historian in rigorously defending the right and claims of musical masterpieces of a distant past to a legitimate and faithful reproduction, i.e., without modernising, and without instrumental or vocal additions."〔(''Karl Franz Friedrich Chrysander'' )--October 1901 obituary from ''The Musical Times.'' (This is also the source for Chrysander's birth and death dates and the facts cited above about his early life.)〕 Chrysander is also credited with rediscovering the autograph score of Johann Sebastian Bach's ''Mass in B Minor,'' which he then sold to the Royal Library in Berlin, generously doing so only for the same sum that he himself paid for it.〔October 1901 obituary from ''The Musical Times.''〕 He also edited the music of many other composers, including (in collaboration with Johannes Brahms) the collected harpsichord music of François Couperin le Grand, published from 1871 to 1888.〔(Ralph David Lichtensteiger, "François Couperin le Grand" ) at lichtensteiger.de.〕 Chrysander took a leading role in the editing and publication of ''Denkmäler der Tonkunst''〔Sydney Robinson Charles, et al.
