Daniel Jelensperger
Daniel Jelensperger (born April 1, 1799 in Mulhouse , † May 30, 1831 in Paris ) was a French musicologist.
Life
Jelensperger studied with Anton Reicha at the Conservatoire de Paris , where he later taught counterpoint and composition. In 1830 he published his harmony theory L'harmonie au commencement du dix-neuvième siècle et méthode pour l'etudier in Paris , which was published in 1833 by Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig under the title The Harmony at the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century . His views were far more influenced by the German musical tradition, as represented by Abbé Vogler and Carl Maria von Weber , than by contemporary French music.
