Johann Ludwig Krebs Sheet Music
- Born: 12th October 1713
- Died: 1st January 1780
- Birthplace: Buttelstedt, Germany
Johann Ludwig Krebs was a Baroque musician and composer primarily for the pipe organ. Krebs was privileged enough to be taught by Johann Sebastian Bach on the organ. Bach (who had also instructed J. Ludwig's father) held Krebs in high standing. From a technical standpoint, Krebs was unrivaled next to Bach in his organ proficiency. However, it was quite difficult for Krebs to obtain a patron or a post at any cathedral. This can be attributed to the fact that by this time the Baroque tradition was being left behind in favor of the new galant music style. This point in time also marked the transition to the classical music era, with composers such as Bach's son, C.P.E. Bach.
