Johann Pachelbel (baptised September 11, 1653 – buried March 9, 1706) was a prominent German composer, organist, and teacher of the middle Baroque period. He was a leading figure in the south German organ school, leaving behind a significant body of sacred and secular music. Pachelbel made notable contributions to the development of the chorale prelude and fugue, solidifying his reputation as an important composer of his time.
During his life, Pachelbel's music enjoyed considerable popularity, and he instructed numerous students. His compositions had a notable influence on composers throughout southern and central Germany. Today, he is most widely recognized for his "Canon in D." Other well-known works include the "Chaconne in F minor," the organ piece "Toccata in E minor," and the keyboard variation set "Hexachordum Apollinis."
