Weingartner Liederhandschrift(D-Sl HB XIII, 1). See Sources, MS, §III, 5. Weinlig, Christian Theodor(b Dresden, 25 July 1780; d Leipzig, 7 March 1842). German Kantor, composer and teacher. He was the nephew of Christian Ehregott Weinlig (b Dresden, 30 Sept 1743; d Dresden, 14 March 1813), who was an organist in Leipzig (1767–73), a renowned Kantor at the Dresden Kreuzschule from 1785 and a composer of sacred and instrumental music. He first studied and practised law (1797–1803), then took music lessons (especially in composition) with his uncle (1804–6) and with Stanislao Mattei in Bologna (1806). He was Kantor of the Kreuzschule from 1814 to 1817, and in 1823 moved from Dresden to succeed Schicht as Kantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig: Weber’s letter of recommendation for this position described him as deeply devoted to his art and gifted with profound insight. In Leipzig Weinlig set himself to maintain the great tradition of the Thomaskirche and raised the standard of performance to a high level. Among others, Mendelssohn praised his activity at the Thomaskirche, where Weinlig remained until his death. A learned and conscientious teacher, he numbered among his pupils Clara Schumann, E.F.E. Richter and Richard Wagner. Though Wagner studied with Weinlig for only about six months (beginning about October 1831), he benefited permanently from the strict course in counterpoint and later from a close imitative study of classical models; Wagner wrote in his autobiography that Weinlig finally dismissed him with the words: ‘Probably you will never write fugues or canons, but what you have mastered is independence: you can now stand alone and rely upon having a fine technique at your fingertips, should you want it’. As attested in his autobiography, diary, letters and articles, Wagner remained appreciative of Weinlig's teaching throughout his life. He dedicated his B Piano Sonata (1832) to Weinlig, who arranged for its publication, and his Liebesmahl der Apostel (1843) was dedicated to Weinlig’s widow. Weinlig’s compositions, most of them sacred choral works, include a German Magnificat; he also wrote an important treatise on fugue entitled Theoretisch-praktische Anleitung zur Fuge für den Selbstunterricht (Dresden, 1845, 2/1852).

Austrian musicologist. He studied the flute at the Vienna Academy and musicology at Vienna University under Adler and at Innsbruck University under Wilhelm Fischer. Being a professional musician and Kapellmeister from 1922 to 1962, he did not take the doctorate at Innsbruck until 1955 (with a dissertation on the complete Artaria catalogue). His 24 volumes on Viennese publishers of the late 18th century and early 19th (which contain the opus numbers and date of issue of each work published) brought him international recognition; in addition he compiled catalogues on many lesser-known composers (including Vanhal, Druschetzky and Kauer) and thematic catalogues of the music in Melk. Many of his writings appeared in the two monograph series, Beiträge zur Geschichte des Alt-Wiener Musik Verlags and Wiener Archivstudien, which he founded. He was a leading member of the Austrian division of RISM, co-editor of the sixth edition of the Köchel catalogue, and author of numerous articles, including many for the Österreichische Musikzeitschrift. His arrangements for small ensembles of light music by Viennese composers such as the Strauss family and Lanner have been used worldwide. His important collection of manuscripts and prints is divided among the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde and Duke University. His brother Ignaz Weinmann (b Vienna, 20 Sept 1897; d Vienna, 16 Oct 1976) was a leading expert on Schubert and his time and an adviser to the Neue Schubert Ausgabe.
