Death Anniversary: Wilhelm Friedemann Bach — July 1, 1784
01 July 2027
He died in Berlin on 1 July 1784. Renowned as the greatest organ improviser of his generation, his intensely personal keyboard polonaises, fantasias, and sinfonias bridged late baroque counterpoint with the turbulent, emotive language of the Sturm und Drang.
