Werner Hans Rudolph Rosenkrantz Giedde (1756-1816) was a Danish civil servant, amateur flautist, composer and music collector. He was Head of The Royal Orchestra from 1791-1793. After his death his collection went to the Royal Music Archive. In 1903 the collection and this archive were incorporated in The Royal Library and is today one of the treasures of the Music and Theatre Department.
Giedde's collection contains 1,230 works, 665 of which are printed. There are about 170 composers on the list. Some of the works are unique specimens or comparatively rare.
