Johann Jakob Froberger

Japanese: フローベルガー - ふろーべるがー(英語表記)Johann Jakob Froberger
Johann Jakob Froberger

German composer, organist, and keyboard player. He was baptized on May 19th. As the son of Basil Froberger (1575-1637), the court conductor of Stuttgart, he received a good musical education, and then went to Vienna around 1634. He became the court organist in 1637, but studied in Rome and was taught by Frescobaldi until around 1640/1641. He served as the court organist in Vienna from 1641 to 1645 and from 1653 to 1657, but after traveling to Paris, London, Brussels, and various parts of Germany, he died on May 6th/7th, 1667 in Hericourt near Basel (now part of France), as a "sincere and enthusiastic teacher" to Sibylla, Duchess of Montpérial of Württemberg. His keyboard works, which include toccatas, ricercares, fantasias, canzonas, Capriccios, and suites, are a mixture of Italian and French styles rooted in his experiences traveling throughout Europe, and they determined the direction of German keyboard music that would lead to Bach.
