Description: | Johann Tobias Krebs (1690-1762) was a German organist and composer, today best remembered as the father of Johann Ludwig Krebs, one of Johann Sebastian Bach's pupils. Krebs was born in Heichelheim and went to school in the Weimar. Nothing is known about his early musical training, but at age 20 Krebs was proficient enough at the keyboard to be invited to become organist at Buttelstedt. Krebs accepted, but continued his music studies in Weimar, travelling there twice a week to study with Johann Gottfried Walther, and later with Johann Sebastian Bach. In 1721 he was accepted a position at Buttstädt, where he played the organ of Michaeliskirche and taught at the school. Krebs remained in Buttstädt for the rest of his life. He had three sons, and the eldest, Johann Ludwig Krebs, became a well-known composer.
Krebs' surviving works are scarce. A few chorale preludes preserved in manuscripts show a marked fondness for counterpoint. In addition, Johann Tobias Krebs and his eldest son are among the list of potential composers of the Eight Short Preludes and Fugues, BWV 553–560, once attributed to Bach.

I recorded a fine prelude and fugue. I'm curious which parts of this piece do remind you of BWV 553-560, 8 Short Preludes & Fugues. In my opinion this piece shows that J.T. Krebs certainly could be one of the possible composers. |
