Ernst Friedrich Eduard Richter (1808 – 1879), was a German musical theorist and organist. He first studied music at Zittau, and afterwards at Leipzig, where he attained so high a reputation that in 1843 he was appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the conservatorium of music, then founded by Felix Mendelssohn. On the death of Moritz Hauptmann on 3 January 1868, he was elected cantor of Thomasschule zu Leipzig, conducting the Thomanerchor, an office he retained until his death.
Richter's chorale trio's are heavily leaning on baroque/classical structures. They reminded me much of the chorale trio's by Homilius. So not very usual for the time they were written in.
