"The monumental Musikalisches Lexikon of 1802 was the work by which Koch was best known until the mid-20th century. It provides information on the formal and technical aspects of the music of the late 18th century in concise entries with scientific explanations, mathematical illustrations and numerous musical examples. Koch later revised and condensed it for a more popular version (1807)." (Nancy Kovaleff Baker, Grove Online)
