Johann Friedrich Fasch
Johann Friedrich Fasch (April 15, 1688 – December 5, 1758) was a German composer.
He was born in Buttelstädt, was a choirboy in Weissenfels and studied under Johann Kuhnau at the Thomasschule in Leipzig (he later founded a Collegium Musicum in the city). He then traveled throughout Germany, becoming a violinist in the orchestra in Bayreuth in 1714, and also holding court posts in Greiz and Lukavec. In 1722 he was appointed Kapellmeister at Zerbst, a post he held until his death. Read Full BioJohann Friedrich Fasch (April 15, 1688 – December 5, 1758) was a German composer.

In 1722 he was appointed Kapellmeister at Zerbst, a post he held until his death.
His works include cantatas, concertos, symphonies and chamber music. None of his pieces were printed in his lifetime, and a large number of his vocal works, including four operas, have been lost. However, he was held in high regard by his contemporaries (Johann Sebastian Bach made manuscript copies of a number of his pieces), and he is today considered an important link between the Baroque and Classical periods.
Fasch died in Zerbst at the age of 70.
Johann Friedrich Fasch was the father of Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch, also a musician.

I must to say... what a beautiful music. I'm not familiar with music, especially with classic one, but this, this is just beautiful! As I see, this is baroque music. What a space of air, what a purity! Breath, breath without stopping...
Thank You I met this beautiful Music, and this composer, Johann Friedrich Fasch, too.
But I must notice, there is some confusion with
"Johann Friedrich Fasch" article in Wikipedia, English version and that portrait you've given in video. Oh, I see, it's mistake:
it's not Johann Friedrich Fasch, it's Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch:
not this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Friedrich_Fasch
but this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Friedrich_Christian_Fasch Now I'm a little bit confused, where is a truth...

The music of this Maestro so sounds ethereal. Often allowing me to believe I'm entering an Olympian grove where deities are enjoying tete-a-tetes. I am reverential.
