Johann (Iogann) Nikolaus (Nicolaus) Forkel
(Meeder, 22 February 1749 - Göttingen, 20 March 1818)

German composer, professor, and historian. His earliest education was in Coburg, with local Kantor Johann Heinrich Schulthesius, following which in 1766 he attended the Johannischule in Lüneberg. Shortly thereafter he moved to Schwerin to become assistant conductor of the cathedral choir. Noticed by Duke Friedrich of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, he was given a stipend to study at Göttingen University beginning in 1769. A year later he was awarded the post of university organist, receiving his doctorate in 1787. The following year he published his 'Allgemeine Geschichte der Musik' followed in 1792 by the 'Allgemeine Litteratur der Musik', both of which established him as a major historian-bibliographer of the period. His correspondence with the sons of Johann Sebastian Bach led him to create over a period of several decades one of the first biographical studies, published in 1802 as 'Über Johann Sebastian Bach: Leben, Kunst und Kunstwerke' as part of an attempt to bring out Bach’s complete works. His scholarly studies often overshadowed his work as a composer. Surviving works include 22 Lieder, five keyboard concertos, seven trio sonatas, four large cantatas or odes, and several sets of variations and smaller keyboard works. His musical style tends to follow the norms of the period, with particular influence of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. He is generally regarded as one of the founders of modern musicology.
