Initials in K.N. 209

One piece in D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 209 is headed by the currently unsolved initials "H.M.T.".

Attributions

Several theories as to the identity of "H.M.T." have been made, but none have gained widespread approval. It was theorized to be the south German composer Michael Tonsor[1] (an Intabulation of a piece by Tonsor does appear in D-Lr Mus.ant.pract. K.N. 210[2][3]). The musicologist Fritz Dietrich wrote that it may be a distortion of "F.T." (=Franz Tunder) and "H.S.M." (=Heinrich Scheidemann), two initials which appear in this manuscript[4].

Despite these, the initials remain unsolved; in Repertorium Orgelmusik the initials are left unattributed[5].

This work was covered by Werner Brieg in his book on Scheidemann's organ music.[4] He stated that, despite the connection to Scheidemann suggested by Fritz Dietrich, the piece can not be attributed to him on stylistic grounds.
