about
Johann Jacob de Neufville (1684–1712) was a Nuremberg-born German organist and late-Baroque composer whose short career bridged south German traditions and the wider German-speaking musical world. He is associated with Graz, Vienna, and Nürnberg-Wöhrd, and is remembered above all for keyboard and organ repertory transmitted in both print and manuscript sources. Accounts of his formation describe him as a pupil of Johann Pachelbel in Nuremberg, followed by further study journeys after 1706 that took him especially to Venice, before periods in Graz and Vienna; he later returned to Nuremberg and is described as holding an organist post in Wöhrd, succeeding Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel. His music is anchored by the 1708 printed collection Sex melea s. ariae cum variationibus ad organum pneumaticum musicum and by a g-minor keyboard suite preserved in Berlin within the composite manuscript D-B Mus.ms. Bach P 801, where the suite is transmitted as an Allemande–Courante–Sarabande sequence. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
