Bernd Baselt (13 September 1934 – 18 October 1993)[1][2] was a German musicologist noted for his works on the Baroque composer George Frideric Handel. He was born in Halle, Saxony-Anhalt and died in Hanover.
From 1953 to 1955 Baselt studied at the Academy for Music and Theater, and at the Martin Luther University in Halle from 1953 to 1958.[2] He gained professorial rank in music at the university in 1975.[3][2]
Although writing widely on composers (such as Telemann), Baselt's most notable work was the Händel-Werke-Verzeichnis (abbreviated as HWV).[2] The HWV is considered to be the modern-day catalogue of Handel's works, and was published in three volumes (in German) between 1978 and 1986.[citation needed]
