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.

Maestro Fasch is the baroque/classicist who was 'undiscovered.' Hopefully we will be provided with his entire oeuvre during the next decade.

Completamente de acuerdo con su afirmación. Hay dos excelentes compositores barrocos, cuya música es muy similar, que son Fusch y Fax. Vale la pena escucharlos.
