year he became oficial organist to St. Jakob). In 1717 he was appointed

published in the mid-18th century, when such music was becoming rather
more elaborate than had been usual in the 1720s and 30s. There are also
some manuscsript instrumental pieces, some of them scored with the
participation of unusual instruments like hurdy-gurdy or jew’s harp as
the middle part of the score.
