Frieder Zschoch

In addition, he studied Germanistics from 1950 to 1952 and was a guest student at the Humboldt University of Berlin with Hans-Heinz Dräger for the subject of systematic musicology.

He wrote his diploma thesis on the subject Die Verwendung der Trompete in Oper und Sinfonik des Barockzeitalters unter besonderer Berücksichtigung Georg Friedrich Händels (The use of the trumpet in opera and symphonic music of the baroque age with special reference to George Frideric Handel).

This publishing house specialised in complete edition projects (Bach, Handel, Mozart) in cooperation with the Bärenreiter-Verlag in Kassel.

On 1 January 1955 Zschoch was hired as a permanent editor and was immediately responsible for the first volume of the Hallische Händel-Ausgabe (HHA).
