Köchel, Ludwig (Alois Ferdinand) von

(born Jan. 14, 1800, Stein, near Krems, Austria—died June 3, 1877, Vienna) Austrian scholar and musicologist. After gaining a law degree, he tutored children of wealthy families and traveled, researching books on a number of different topics, including botany, mineralogy, and music.
