Johann Wilhelm Drese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Wilhelm Drese (bapt. 8 July 1677; bur. 25 June 1745) was a German composer, son of Johann Samuel Drese, whom Johann Wilhelm succeeded as Kapellmeister at Weimar during the time J.S. Bach was active there.

In 1702, he spent eight months in Italy, with the aim of perfecting himself at composition. Little is known of his activities after Bach left Weimar in 1717. Drese died in Erfurt.
