Kaspar Johann Kummer[1] (1795–1870) was a German flautist, professor and composer.
Kummer was born on 10 December 1795 in Erlau in Thuringia (in Sankt Kilian.) [2] He taught himself the flute while learning violin, horn, trumpet, clarinet, bassoon, oboe, cello and double bassoon.[3]
Kummer was taught by Neumeister for a year, then took training in music theory from the Cantor of Schleusingen, Gottlob Abraham Stäps. From 1835, he worked as a flautist at the chapel of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and took over direction of their orchestra in 1854.[4]
His published compositions ran to over 150 opus numbers, mostly involving the flute, but also including lieder, etc.
He also had several students, including Friedrich Kiel[5] and Felix Draeseke.[6]
He died in May 1870, probably on 21 May, in Coburg.[2]
