Bernhard Friedrich Richter (1 August 1850 – 16 April 1931)[1] was a German church musician in Leipzig, holding the position of Thomaskantor interim in 1892–93. He was also a Bach scholar.
Richter was born in Leipzig,[1] the son of the musician Ernst Friedrich Richter and the brother of the composer Alfred Richter [de]. He received first organ lessons from his father, and attended then the Thomasschule. In 1876, Richter was appointed organist at the Jakobskirche in Leipzig. He also worked, from 1890, as church musician at the Lutherkirche [de], and as voice teacher at the Thomasschule. After the death of ThomaskantorWilhelm Rust in 1892, he held the position interim, until Gustav Schreck was elected the following year.
Richter was promoted to Kirchenmusikdirektor in 1908, and to Royal Professor in 1917. He is known for publications focused on the life and work of Johann Sebastian Bach.
