Life

Johann Gottfried Walther was J.S. Bach’s cousin. He was a pupil of J. Bernhard Bach at Erfurt, where he was appointed organist at the Thomaskirche in 1702. In 1707 he became town organist at Weimar, and music master to the children of the ducal family. From 1720 he was court musician.

His most significant contribution was his Musikalisches Lexikon oder Musikalische Bibliothek (1723).
