 Born the son of an art historian and teacher in Dortmund, he studied musicology in Freiburg im Breisgau with Wilibald Gurlitt, among others. In 1952, he completed his doctorate with a dissertation on “Wolfgang Caspar Printz (1641–1717) and his theory of rhythm.” He remained Gurlitt’s assistant until 1954, while working on the renowned Handwörterbuch of musical terminology and lecturing on the history of Lutheran church music and hymnology at the Musikhochschule Freiburg.
