Born in Radolfzell, Ruf studied musicology and history at the University of Freiburg, and obtained his doctorate in 1974. Until 1985 he was a research assistant of Hans Heinrich Eggebrecht at the Institute of Musicology in Freiburg. [3] In 1984 he was habilitated and in 1985 received a professorship for musicology at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. From 1994 to 2006, Ruf worked at the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg as well as at the Handel House in Halle. Ruf is editor and co-publisher of numerous publications.

Friedrich Blume was professor of musicology at the University of Kiel from 1938–1958. He was a student in Munich, Berlin and Leipzig, and taught in the last two of these for some years before being called to the chair in Kiel. His early studies were on Lutheran church music, including several books on J.S. Bach, but broadened his interests considerably later. Among his prominent works were chief editor of the collected Praetorious edition, and he also edited the important Eulenburg scores of the major Mozart Piano Concertos. From 1949 he was involved in the planning and writing of Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. Coincidentally he died within a few weeks of another prominent Mozart musicologist, Cuthbert Girdlestone, and was thus almost his exact contemporary.
