Description
Entire bookcases could be filled with the literature on J.S. Bach and his music, but not a single monograph has yet been written on Christoph Graupner (Kirchberg, January 13, 1683 – Darmstadt, May 10, 1760). And yet this German baroque composer was during his lifetime as famous or even more so than his brilliant contemporary. For much of his life he worked as Kapellmeister, court music director, for the Landgraves of Darmstadt. There he composed an enormous body of work, which is far from being fully explored, though interest in Graupner is growing.
