I posted some links in the discussion above that suggest different birth and death dates. Birth date: June 2, 1842. Death date: sometime after 1904. Can anyone get a better death date?

There are two persons with the same name:

Deutsche Nationalbibliothek - Musikarchiv
Müller, Bernhard Eduard 1842-1920 Compositions for horn
born in Altenburg
http://www.french-horn.net/index.php/bi ... eller.html



Serenade op. 15
MÜLLER, Bernhard Eduard (1824-1883)
für Flöte, Horn und Klavie
From the preface:
"B.E.Müller was born on 25th January 1824 in Sonneberg in Thuringia ... From 1850 ob he held the post of cantor in Salzungen ...
music director in Meiningen .. he died on 5th December 1883 ..."

Makes sense. I'm thinking this is the only one is by the 1824-1883 composer: http://imslp.org/wiki/2_Sonatines,_Op.4 ... rd_Eduard). The rest in the category are by the 1842-1920 composer. 1920 seems reasonable for the death date, but the given link says he played with the Gewandhaus Orchestra from 1876-1920. So while it's likely that's when he died it's not for sure.
