Kurt Reinhard (27 August 1914 – 18 July 1979) was a German musicologist and ethnomusicologist who specialised in Turkish music.[1]
Born in Gießen, Germany, he studied musicology and composition at the University of Cologne from 1933 to 1935, and ethnology at the Universities of Leipzig and Munich from 1935-1936. He took his doctorate at Munich doing his dissertation on Burmese music. In 1952–1968, he was a director of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv.
His chief area of interest in the field of ethnomusicology was the folk music of Turkey.[1]
