about
Conrad Paumann was a German organist, lutenist and composer of the early Renaissance. Paumann was born in Nuremberg to a family of craftsmen on January 24, 1410. In 1447 he became the official town organist of Nuremberg. Even though he was born blind, he was one of the most talented musicians of the 15th century, and his performances created a sensation wherever he went. Being as rebellious as he was talented, he left what was probably a stifling environment, and went secretly to Munich in 1450, where he was immediately employed by Duke Albrecht III as court organist, who also gave him a house. Munich was officially his home for the remainder of his life, although he began to travel extensively. While exact records of his travels do not remain, they were clearly extensive, and everywhere he went he was greeted with astonishment; his renown as a performer and composer grew. Milan and Naples both made him attractive job offers. His travels in Italy were probably around 1470, when the Milanese Sforza family was beginning to build their chapel into the most impressive singing and composition establishment in Europe: Josquin Desprez, Loyset Compère, Alexander Agricola and others were all there; some of them may have heard him play, and may have exchanged musical ideas with him. In Mantua he was knighted; in Landshut he performed for the Burgundian king Philip the Good; in Ratisbon he performed for Emperor Frederick III. During this time he also had numerous students.
