opis

J. C. F. Fischer introduced many French influences into the German music of his times and for this reason numbers among the most significant German composers of the seventeenth century and early eighteenth century – even though the few biographical details known about him (even his birthplace has not been documented) offer only a very incomplete picture of his life and work. It is not known whether Fischer was ever in Paris or even may have studied with Lully there. Only his Le Journal du Printemps, a work written largely in the French style, points directly to his close ties to the world of French baroque music. This collection of orchestral suites, the first of Fischer's works, was published by Kroninger in Augsburg in 1695. He dedicated it to his employer, Margrave Ludwig Wilhelm of Baden, and its magnificence reflects all the glory of court life. The suites consist of dance movements introduced by splendid overtures. According to C. P. E. Bach, it was this work cycle that inspired his father, J. S. Bach, to compose The Well-Tempered Clavier.
