Bach, Wilhelm Friedemann |
Also found in: Hutchinson | 0.01 sec. |
Bach, Wilhelm Friedemann(born Nov. 22, 1710, Weimar, Saxe-Weimar—died July 1, 1784, Berlin) German composer and organist. Eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, he was trained by his father. One of the finest organists of his time, he held important organist posts in Dresden (1723–46) and Halle (1746–64) but thereafter lived an unsettled life and drifted into drinking and poverty. Though he was a highly gifted composer, his compositions veered confusingly between the old contrapuntal style and the new pre-Classical styles. He wrote more than 30 church cantatas, several keyboard concertos, and many solo keyboard works. How to thank TFD for its existence?
