Rudolf Quoika

Rudolf Quoika (born May 6, 1897 in Saaz , † April 7, 1972 in Freising ) was a musicologist .

Quoika studied music history at the German University in Prague . From 1918 to 1941 he worked as a teacher and organist in Buchau , Postelberg and Saaz. In 1966 he was appointed Austrian professor . The focus of his research was on the history of organ building.

His book Vom Blockwerk zur Registerorgel , which used to be part of the standard literature in the history of organ building, has now disappeared from the literature lists because it contains serious errors. In many cases, his statements do not match the sources he cited.

Rudolf Quoika's estate is in the Rohr monastery .
