Kaspar Johann Kummer〔sometimes Caspar or Gaspard. Spelling, in publications and otherwise, was not so very fixed!〕 (1795–1870) was a German flautist, professor and composer. Kummer was born 10 December 1795 in Erlau in Thuringia (in Sankt Kilian.) 〔Musicsack - http://www.musicsack.com/PersonFMTDetail.cfm?PersonPK=100007153 - has Erlau, Scheusingen, Hungary. Thuringia from German Wikipedia.〕 He taught himself the flute while learning violin, horn, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, cello and double bassoon.〔German Wikipedia. Note that there are bassoon works by a "G. Kummer" (which have been uploaded to IMSLP), but they are not generally or probably by "Gaspard" Kummer but rather by his contemporary, a bassoonist Gotthelf Kummer. (The trouble with initials.)〕 Kummer was taught by Neumeister for a year, then took training in music theory from the Cantor of Schleusingen, Gottlob Abraham Stäps. From 1835, he worked as a flautist at the chapel of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and took over direction of their orchestra in 1854.〔German Wikipedia.〕 His published compositions ran to over 150 opus numbers, mostly involving the flute, but also including lieder, etc. He also had several students, including Friedrich Kiel and Felix Draeseke. He died in May 1870, probably 21 May, in Coburg.〔 == Notes == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaspar Kummer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
