Manfred App (* 1948 ) is a German music publisher .

Life

App studied German , theology , social sciences , and singing ( bass baritone ) with Kurt Moll, among others .

Since the 1990s he has been researching Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his environment and has found musical historical sources in smaller collections, which were first made accessible to the West after 1989, especially in the Czech Republic , and made them accessible through his own publications.

In particular, he researched the environment of the Magic Flute . He not only found mass compositions with melodies from the Magic Flute , but also operas by other composers related to the Magic Flute and by Emanuel Schikaneder .

This included investigations and the finding of Babilon's piramids and The Second Part of the Magic Flute The Labyrinth or the Fight with the Elements by Peter von Winter . App found the glued and sewn score of the opera in the Berlin State Library and published a first edition of it in 2002.

This score and the associated performance material for the orchestra was then performed by the Chemnitz Opera in 2002 under the conductor Fabrice Bollon . In 2012 there was also a greatly shortened performance at the Salzburg Festival under the conductor Ivor Bolton , which was also released on DVD.
