Review
Organist in Vienna, Eisenach, Erfurt, Stuttgart and Gotha, finished his career in the church of San Sebaldo of his native Núremberg. He was a friend of the Bach family and teacher of Johann Christoph, the older brother who formed Johann Sebastian.
He was one of the great organists in southern Germany. His Canon in re major, rediscovered in the 20th century, is now one of the best known pieces of classical music.
