Introducing Franz Horn

After moving to the next few volumes of AMZ, I've determined that Fr. Horn is Franz Horn (1781-1837), a literary figure as well as music critic. Mark Evan Bonds quotes from his musical fragments on Mozart and Shakespeare in the _Journal of the American Musicological Society_ (1997). Horn follows his discussion of German opera in April of 1803, "Vermischte Bemerkungen bei Gelegenheit eines alten Buchs über die Musik" (499-508). One interesting passage is his claim that from consulting various subjects discussed in Scheibe's "Critischer Musikus" (1730), writing a "fullstanding history of German opera" is entirely managable (502). I'm looking forward to combing through this text more carefully.
