About Johann Kuhnau

Johann Kuhnau was a remarkable German polymath whose legacy endures primarily through his compositions, though his talents extended far beyond music. As the Thomaskantor in Leipzig for 21 years, Kuhnau wore many hats—novelist, translator, lawyer, and music theorist—all while creating a rich tapestry of choral works. Today, he is best remembered for his Biblical Sonatas, a collection of programmatic keyboard sonatas published in 1700. Each sonata vividly depicts a specific biblical story, showcasing Kuhnau's unique ability to blend narrative and music. His tenure at Leipzig was followed by the illustrious Johann Sebastian Bach, cementing his place in musical history. Despite the loss of many of his larger vocal works, Kuhnau's innovative approach to musical storytelling continues to captivate audiences and inspire musicians.
