Review
Of Danish origin, he was an organist of the church of Santa María de Lübeck since 1668, where he organized the famous evening concerts (Abendmusiken).
His fame was such that in 1705 the young Bach walked about four hundred kilometres to hear and learn from him. His organ works are the summit of the school in northern Germany.
