Charles Richard Francis Maunder (23 November 1937 – 5 June 2018) was a British mathematician and musicologist.
Following on from other musicologists such as Ernst Hess, Franz Beyer and Robert D. Levin, he presented a fundamental revision of Mozart's last work, in which, like his predecessors, he wanted to remove Süssmayr's additions as far as possible and replace them with Mozart's own ideas.
This new version was recorded by Christopher Hogwood with the Academy of Ancient Music in 1983 and the score was published in 1988.
Maunder's edition of Mozart's C minor Mass was published in 1990[11] and was first recorded by Hogwood in the same year.
Maunder edited also pieces by Francesco Geminiani, Tomaso Albinoni, Henry Purcell, members of the Bach Family, Giuseppe Sammartini and others.
