75Cramer, Carl Friedrich (b Quedlinburg, 7 March 1752, d Paris, 8 Dec 1807) German linguist, publisher, writer on music and composers He was the eldest son of Johann Andreas Cramer, a noted professor of theology and later chancellor at Kiel University, and in 1775 became professor of Greek and oriental languages at the same university His sympathies with French Republican forces led to his removal from this office in 1794 He stayed briefly in Hamburg, then in late 1795 emigrated to Paris and was a printer and bookseller there by 1797
77From the 1770s Cramer was in close contact with various musicians of the North German school, especially C P E Bach Beginning in 1782 he edited a series of vocal scores, first advertised (at Leipzig and Dessau) under the collective title Polyhymnia, these include Salieri's Armida (1783), Naumann's Orpheus und Euridice (1787), J A P Schulz's Alme reine de Golconde (1790) and F L A Kunzen's Holger Danske (1790) Cramer also edited and published Flora (Kiel, 1787), a collection of songs and keyboard pieces by C P E Bach, Gluck, Graven, A and F L A Kunzen, Reichardt and Schwanenberger Perhaps his greatest importance to music lies in his periodical Magazin der Musik (Hamburg, 1783-6, continued as Musik, Copenhagen, 1789), in addition to lists of new publications by genre, criticism of concerts and essays on music theory, it provided descriptions of concert programmes and performers at various European cities as well as the personnel in several contemporary orchestras (Bentheim-Steenfurt, Bonn, Kassel, Dresden) 41 of his German translations of psalms were set by C P E Bach in 1774, and in 1801 his translation into French of Rochlitz's 'Verburgte Anckdoten aus Wolfgang Gotlieb Mozart's Leben' (AMZ, 1, 1798 9) appeared in Paris He especially admired the music of Bach, Mozart and Haydn, and the writings of Klopstock His original works include a Kurze Uebersicht der Geschichte der franzosischen Musik (Berlin, 1786) and various keyboard pieces and songs mostly written for the Magazin der Musik
