    He was a german composer, he was born in 1685 and died 1750. His performing abilities were noticed in in the 18th century but it wasn't till the 19th century that his status as a composer became apparent to the musical world. He is from Germany. If you had to take a guess you would say germany because in the 18th century many of the main/popular composers were from germany. He could play the organ,the harpsichord, viola and he sang in the choir. Some songs he wrote were air on a g string. This was played on the violin in the 19th century. Aria da capo was another one of hes songs da capo means from the head or from the beginning. Coffee cantata was written in early 18th century. Fin

  22. Cannon in music is a piece of music in which two or more voices (or instrumental parts) sing or play the same music starting at different times.
    The three main features of ground bass are:
    -A repeating bass line gives a piece of music an obvious structure
    -A bass line suggests certain chords and chords create harmony
    -The idea has been around since at least the 16th century. It is still used in all kinds of music, including pop music
