On This Day!
Well, here's another one to add to our unknown composers list April 15th,1688 is the birthday in Weimar of Johann Friedrich Fasch, whose music was respected by his contemporary, Bach, but forgotten in the 1800s. He wrote 14 Masses, 100 cantatas, 4 operas among others. I did find a website on him if anyone's interested.
