Biography (read more)
David Kellner (c. 1670 – c. 1748) was a German lutenist and composer of the late Baroque period, a contemporary of J. S. Bach. Little biographical detail survives beyond his known activity as a lutenist; he is remembered chiefly through his treatise “Unterricht im General-Bass-Spielen” (Instruction in Playing Thoroughbass), first published in 1732, and a small surviving body of lute compositions.
Kellner’s fantasias and dance movements for lute are valued today as accessible, idiomatic examples of late-Baroque lute writing, and his thoroughbass treatise is a recognized pedagogical source from the period. His music is frequently transcribed for classical guitar.
