Christian Martin Schmidt
Christian Martin Schmidt (born 10 November 1942) is a German musicologist and music theorist.
Life
[edit]Born in Dessau, Schmidt studied musicology from 1963 at the University of Hamburg, as well as in Tübingen, Paris, Göttingen and Berlin. In 1970 he received his doctorate at the FU Berlin from Rudolf Stephan.
Subsequently, Schmidt worked on the Arnold Schönberg complete edition. After his habilitation (with an analytical work on Schönberg's Moses und Aron) and a professorship in Amsterdam, he held the chair of Music history at Technische Universität Berlin[1] from 1991 until his emeritus as successor to Carl Dahlhaus.
Since 1992 he has been project manager of the Leipzig Edition of the Works of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy at the Saxon Academy of Sciences and Humanities.
A further focus of his work, besides the music history of the 19th and 20th centuries, is the work of Johannes Brahms.
