Eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was organist of the Sophienkirche in Dresden (1733), then music director and organist of the Liebfrauenkirche in Halle from 1746, hence his nickname "the Halle Bach." A renowned improviser, he later led an unsettled life and died in poverty in Berlin. His small body of organ music comprises a few fugues and chorale-based pieces.
