Johann Jakob Froberger was a highly influential composer of the Baroque era, known for his keyboard compositions. While only two of his works were published during his lifetime, a significant number of authenticated manuscripts have preserved a large body of his music. Froberger’s compositions were widely circulated in Europe and he was esteemed by many prominent composers of his time. Credited with establishing the Baroque suite form, his innovative treatment of dance forms influenced future composers, particularly Johann Sebastian Bach.
