Heinrich Bellermann

Johann Gottfried Heinrich Bellermann was a German music theorist. He was the author of Der Contrapunkt, 1862,, and Die Grösse der musikalischen Intervalle als Grundlage der Harmonie, 1873.
Bellermann may be regarded as an influence on the Second Viennese School, as his Counterpoint was used by Arnold Schoenberg when teaching composition to pupils such as Alban Berg and Anton Webern.
