Johann Joseph Fux worked in music at a period when the art was changing shape around them.
The record lists Johann Joseph Fux as Austrian composer.
Johann Joseph Fux was born at Langegg bei Graz in 1660. His recorded nationality is Germany.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as organist, conductor and composer.
The instruments recorded are pipe organ.
His work is classed as opera.
A musical reputation rests on a handful of works that refuse to date.
That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Johann Joseph Fux died in 1741, aged 81. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
