Johann Gottfried Vierling (1750 - 1813) Allemagne Johann Gottfried Vierling (January 25, 1750 – November 22, 1813) was a German organist and composer.
Vierling was born in Metzels. From 1763 he studied at the Lyzeum in Schmalkalden. In 1768 he succeeded his teacher Johann Nikolaus Tischer (1707-74) as organist in Schmalkalden. He later continued his musical studies with Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach and Johann Philipp Kirnberger. Vierling died in Schmalkalden.
Vierling composed several collections of easy organ pieces, a four-voice organ chorale book (1790) and cembalo music such as two trios, one quartet and six sonatas. Two handwritten annual volumes of Kirchenkantaten are preserved. He also published a handbook on the art of basso continuo, 'Allgemein faßlicher Unterricht im Generalbaß'.
Among Vierling's students was Johann Christian Friedrich Hæffner, who became a famous musician in Sweden. (Retracter)...(lire la suite) Source de l'extrait biographique : Wikipedia
