First published in 1833 as Harmonielehre oder Kunst, den Generalbaß in sech Monaten zu erlernen in Vienna by Strauss, Rieger's treatise was reprinted several times in Vienna and Brünn. The present Brünn edition, published on commission by Seidel, is quite scarce.

Rieger was a Moravian teacher and composer of Austrian descent. In Brünn "he was active as a teacher and conducted oratorio and symphony concerts. In 1828 he founded a music institute where he taught string and wind instruments, singing and music theory; here he had about 200 pupils ... [He] was known as an excellent teacher of counterpoint." Rieger wrote singspiels, much sacred music, and numerous piano and instrumental works. Karel Steinmetz in Grove Music Online.
