7Second Quartet.
8This second string quartet was made up of the sons of Karl Friedrich, first violin in the original Müller Brothers' Quartet. Bernhard, the eldest, born in 1829, died in 1895; he played the viola. Karl, born in 1829, was known after his marriage as Müller-Berghaus; played the first violin. Hugo, born in 1832, died in 1886; played the second violin. Wilhelm, who was born in 1834, played the cello; died in New York in 1897. For ten years they formed the Court quartet to the Duke of Meiningen; they traveled through Russia, Denmark and France, and in 1866 settled in Rosbeck, where Karl was appointed chapelmaster, and the other brothers members of the orchestra. In 1873 the quartet was dissolved, when Wilhelm became first cellist in the Royal Orchestra and teacher at the Hochschule in Berlin. Karl has lived at Stuttgart and Hamburg, and is known as the composer of an operetta and the cantata, Jeptha's Tochter, and other pieces. This quartet never attained the perfection of the first one, but was favorably known.

16Murska (dū mü'-rēs), Johannes de.
17A disciple of Franco; a mathematician and musical theorist of the early part of the Fourteenth Century of whom very little is certainly known. Neither the date nor the place of his birth has been found, some authorities claiming him as English. Although the matter of his birthplace will probably never be settled, we are tolerably certain that de Muris spent much of his life in Paris, for he mentions having heard there a triplum composed by Franco, and some of his writings are dated from the Sorbonne, among them Musica Speculativa and Canones de eclipsi lunae. He is mentioned as a mathematician and musician in manuscripts of that time. In the British Museum is a copy of Musica Speculativa, an abridgment of Boetius attributed to him, which was printed in Frankfort in 1508. The only writing which may certainly be assigned to him is the Speculum Musice, which is to be found in two manuscripts in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris. It consists of seven books, as follows: Miscellaneous; On Intervals; On Musical Oratorios; On Consonance; Theory of Ancient Music after Boetius; Church Modes and Solmisation; Measured Music and Discant. The influence de Muris had upon music was a restraining one; he believed in formality and dignity of composition and decried the tendencies of various innovations in his time which he thought threatened the theory and structure of music.
