Biography

German ethnomusicologist, linguist (German, English, French), musicologist, orientalist and library official. Expert in the music of the Orient, he was a member of the Berlin School of Comparative Musicology and one of its founding fathers.

He came to Jerusalem at the invitation of Judah L. Magnes, chancellor and later president (1935–1948) of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem to establish a center of Oriental music and the "Archive for Oriental Music".

He participated in the 1932 Cairo Congress of Arab Music.
