Johann Ludwig Krebs was born in Buttelstedt in 1713. He received his first organ and music lessons from his father, Tobias Krebs. At the age of 13, he moved to Leipzig, where he remained in close proximity to Johann Sebastian Bach until 1737 – this made him into a ‘true Bach creature’. His education at St Thomas' School, his studies at Leipzig University and his organ and composition lessons with Bach had a decisive influence on Krebs and made him an accomplished and independent composer. While studying philosophy and law at Leipzig University, Krebs taught Luise Adelgunde Victoria Gottsched, the wife of the well-known writer Johann Christoph Gottsched, composition and probably also lute playing. He dedicated six Praeambula to her. After serving as organist in Zwickau and Zeitz, Krebs was appointed ducal court organist at the castle church in Altenburg in 1756. He remained there until his death on 1 January 1780. Krebs left behind an extensive musical oeuvre – primarily for organ , but also remarkable chamber music compositions. Content: 1.
