Leopold Neuhauser

Bio of Leopold Neuhauser and his works from Neues historisch-biographisches Lexikon der Tonkünstler , by Ernst Ludwig Gerber, Leipzig, 1813. Leopold Neuhauser (born Innsbruck, 18th century – died after 1813) was an Austrian musician, composer of instrumental works, and virtuoso of the guitar and mandolin. He lived in Vienna in the early 19th century, where he taught music and composed. The players began incorporating their regional folk-tunes "alpine influences" into their music, writing Ländler dances and expanding the repertoire of classical guitar.

The nocturnes that Bone listed were previously listed in 1813 in Neues historisch-biographisches Lexikon der Tonkünstler, volume 3, by Ernst Ludwig Gerber. Gerber and Bone gave the same list of instruments for the works:

Nocturne No. 1 for Violin, two altos and violoncello Nocturne No. 2 for Mandolin, violin, alto, two horns and violoncello Nocturne No. 3 for two violins, two oboes, two horns, alto and bass Nocturne No. 4 Quartet for two violins, alto and bass
