Christoph Kittel

Christoph Kittel (fl. 1640 - Dresden, 1680) was a German organist, music publisher. He was son[1] or brother of Caspar Kittel. Like Caspar Kittel he was a pupil of Heinrich Schütz and published Schütz' 1657 collection Zwölff Geistlichen Gesänge (SWV420-31).[2] He may have been related to Johann Christian Kittel (1732-1809), one of the last pupils of J. S. Bach.
