Who is/was Daniel Gottlob Turk?

[Bob]

I've heard of him.  Probably played something by him.  Never studied him much.

I'm thinking... classical?  Baroque?

Hmmmm...... *reads titles, begins search for "Smelly Cat"*

Because I see Turk music is now available on the PS downloadable music site.

that's because you misspelled his middle name.  gottlieb!  he was a young turk once.  everyone seems to quote him regarding trills in the classical period.

he wrote the teaching manual 'klavierschule' in 1789 which was one of the first instruction manuals for general teaching of the keyboard.  also, 'kurze anweisung' - which explained through-bass and his unfinished 'violinschule' in 1799.

*whines* I didn't misspell it!  Nils did it!   

There are new pieces in there. 

I did think it was Gottlieb actually.  It's an odd name.

ok.  we'll blame it on nils and see if he notices.  he'll probably move this thread somewhere's where we can't find it.  (just kdding)

anyways - i don't really know much excepting that i quoted the guy a million times in my paper about mozart cadenzas.  i think i might have said something about him.  why can't i remember.  bob.  i'm losing my mind.
