Johann Jakob Froberger
Composer
1616–1667. German composer in the Early Baroque Keyboard tradition.
Froberger was a pivotal early Baroque keyboard composer whose suites and toccatas for harpsichord and organ blend German and Italian styles. His laments and meditations reflect contemplative, melancholic tendencies. The co-composer list reflects album sharing rather than collaboration.
Signature works: Toccata in D minor FbWV 106, Suite in E minor FbWV 206, Lamentation on the Death of Emperor Ferdinand III, Meditation faite sur ma mort future, Suite in A major FbWV 201.
