[101] This artist was a violinist, and was born on April 27,
1767, at Vechta, in Oldenburg, and died on November 21, 1821, as
Hofkapellmeister, in Gotha.
[102] Bagge was a Prussian Chamberlain, who then lived in Paris, built a
house there, and acted the part of an art patron. He died there in 1791.
[103] This notice is by the Court Chaplain of Hohenlohe in Kirchberg,
Carl Ludwig Junker.

[107] The first of these appeared at Schott’s, in Mayence; the other,

[117] Also the two Maras (father and son) had an important effect on
Violoncello playing in Berlin, though not so great as that of the
brothers Duport. Concerning the elder and younger Mara, the necessary
details will be given in speaking of the Bohemian violoncellists.
[118] Fétis contests this, for he says: “The German biographers of Kelz
affirm that he (Kelz) was advised by Duport; but this is erroneous, as
at this time (1811) Duport was no longer in Berlin.” This could only
refer to L. Duport, for his brother remained until his death in the
Prussian capital.
