Johann Gottfried (Johannes Godefridus, Giovanni Godofredo) Walther [Walter, Walthero, Waltherus]
(Erfurt, 18 September 1684 - Weimar, 23 March 1748)
German organist, composer, theorist and lexicographer. Son of Johann Stephan Walther, an Erfurt fabric maker, and Martha Dorothea Lämmerhirt, he studied organ in Erfurt with Johann Bernhard Bach and Johann Andreas Kretschmar. He became organist of the Thomaskirche there in 1702 and concurrently studied philosophy and law briefly at the University of Erfurt. He studied composition with Johann Heinrich Buttstett; after travel in Germany, he continued his studies with Wilhelm Hieronymus Pachelbel in Nuremberg (1706), then became organist of the church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Weimar (1707), a post he held for the rest of his life. He also served as music master at the ducal court and was made Hofmusicus of the ducal Court in 1721. Walther assembled a valuable library of music and books on music, which prompted him to pursue diligent musical research. This culminated in his great 'Musicalisches Lexicon' (1732), the first music dictionary to encompass biographies of musicians of the past and present, musical terms, and bibliographies. He also left the important treatise 'Praecepta der musicalischen Composition' (1708), which was not published until the 20th century. He composed much sacred vocal music, but only one work, 'Kyrie, Christe, Kyrie eleison über Wo Gott zum Haus nicht giebt sein Gunst', has survived. However, over 100 chorale preludes for organ are extant. These place him next to J.S. Bach, his distant relation and lifelong friend, as a master of the genre. He also prepared valuable manuscript copies of works by other composers, many of which remain the only known sources.

Wonderful pastoral music. As an organ composer, Walther became famous for his organ transcriptions of orchestral concertos by contemporary Italian and German masters. He made 14 transcriptions of concertos by Albinoni, Gentili, Taglietti, Torelli, Vivaldi and Telemann. These works were the models for Bach to write his famous transcriptions of concertos by Vivaldi and others. On the other hand, Walther as a city organist of Weimar wrote exactly 132 organ preludes based on Lutheran chorale melodies.
BELLISSIMO.
Charles Burney briefly mentioned Walther's " Lexicon Diplomaticum " , saying, " If it was not so large, it seems the best book possible for my purpose, being a complete Dictionary of old writing and abbreviations from the 8th to the 15th century after printing was invented.
