Girolamo Frescobaldi
(1583 – 1643)
WikiPedia: Girolamo Alessandro Frescobaldi , 1583 – 1643, was one of the most important Italian composers, of keyboard music in the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods.
Frescobaldi's printed collections contain some of the most influential music of the 17th century. His work influenced Johann Jakob Frob
erger, Johann Sebastian Bach, Henry Purcell, and countless other major composers. Pieces from his celebrated collection of liturgical organ music, Fiori musicali (1635), were used as models of strict counterpoint as late as the 19th century.
