Daniel Evan Freeman is an American musicologist who specializes in European art music of the eighteenth century, in particular the musical culture of eighteenth-century Prague and the Bohemian lands. He was born in Everett, Washington, but raised in Merrill, Wisconsin, from early childhood. He earned a B.Mus. degree in piano performance at the University of Wisconsin?Madison in 1981 and also studied piano as a non-degree candidate at Indiana University with James Tocco. He studied musicology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where his teachers included Bruno Nettl, John Walter Hill, Nicholas Temperley, and Herbert Kellman. His dissertation "The Opera Theater of Count Franz Anton von Sporck in Prague" was revised and published in 1992 as the first monograph devoted to the musical cultural of eighteenth-century Prague or the Bohemian lands ever written in English. This work has been followed by two other books concerned with music-making in eighteenth-century Prague: Josef Myslive?ek, "Il Boemo" and Mozart in Prague. No other musicologist of any nationality has succeeded in completing three separate monographs on the same subject matter.
